title: What are the advantages to switch Amazon SES from the US to the EU?
body: <p>I run a EU-based website on Amazon EC2, and currently send around 13,000 emails a day through Amazon SES. Much of the email throughput is during the early hours of the morning.</p>
  
  <p>Now that Amazon SES has instances in Europe, are there any advantages to me switching from the current US-west SES servers into Europe? Does it make any difference in terms of deliverability or anything else?</p>
  
  <p>The only benefit I can really see is one of <em>slight</em> speed increase; but email sending is done away from anything user-facing anyway.</p>
