+## Usage with AWS SES

+
+The following `send()` options are applicable when using `awsses` as the transport:

+- `apiSecret` (required, String) Your Secret Key, defaults to `process.env.AWS_SES_SECRET_KEY`
+- `region` (required, String) Your Sending Region i.e., us-east-1, defaults to `process.env.AWS_SES_REGION`
+- `from` (String or Object) The name and email to send from (see below)
+- `inline_css` (Boolean) inline CSS classes in your template, defaults to `true`
+- `to` (String, Object or Array) The recipient(s) of the email (see below)
+- `cc` (String, Object or Array) The CC recipient(s) of the email (same format as `to`, see below)
+- `bcc` (String, Object or Array) The BCC recipient(s) of the email (same format as `to`, see below)
+- `replyTo` (String, Object or Array) The Reply-To address(es) of the email (same format as `to`, see below)

 ## From option
 
 The `from` option can be a String (email address), or Object containing `name` and `email`. In the object form, `name` can also be an object containing `first` and `last` (which will be concatenated with a space). This simplifies usage with `User` models in KeystoneJS. For example:

 Keystone would previous return errors if the subject, contents, recipient(s) or the sender address were invalid. This is no longer handled by the library, please make sure you validate these options before sending the emails. If the transport validates these options, errors will be passed directly to the callback.
