Send email via SES
In the test environment, you can send messages e-mail only to address registered in sandbox.
Do I need an actual mailbox and verified email to send email with SES?
I own the domain I am trying to send from, but I do not have an account or mailbox setup (this is just a test domain, and I don't want to setup a gmail mailbox) 
Is there a better way to be doing this in a test environment?
I am using the django-ses package, and sending email like this:
send_mail('Test subject', 'This is the body', 'mypersonalemail@yahoo.com',['info@mydomain.com'])
I very well may have a fundamental misunderstanding of sending email, so any help is appreciated!
