* Opens are automatically tracked and reported as **SES Open** events (ID: 33) through SNS notifications
* Clicks are automatically tracked and reported as **SES Click** events (ID: 34) through SNS notifications
* View open and click rates in the SendPost dashboard

2. Filter by:
   * **Provider**: Select your Amazon SES provider

## Rate Limiting & Throttling

### Default Rate Limits

By default, Amazon SES providers are configured with a rate limit of **100 emails per hour**. This limit is set at the provider level and applies to all emails sent through your Amazon SES integration.

### Configuring Rate Limits

You can easily adjust the rate limit through the SendPost UI:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Navigate to Third party providers">
    Go to **Settings** → **Third party providers** in your SendPost Settings Menu
  </Step>

  <Step title="Edit Provider">
    Click on your Amazon SES provider's dropdown to edit its settings
  </Step>

  <Step title="Adjust Rate Limit">
    Update the **Max Sends Per Hour** value to match your Amazon SES sending limits or your desired sending rate
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save Changes">
    Save your changes. The new rate limit takes effect immediately.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Info>
  Rate limiting in SendPost is configured on an hourly basis. Adjust the hourly limit based on your Amazon SES account limits and sending requirements. Note that Amazon SES has its own sending limits that still apply.
</Info>

### Provider-Level Throttling

SendPost supports granular throttling for different email providers:

| Provider | Description                             |
| -------- | --------------------------------------- |
| Gmail    | Throttle sending to Gmail addresses     |
| Yahoo    | Throttle sending to Yahoo/AOL addresses |
| Outlook  | Throttle sending to Microsoft addresses |
| Default  | Throttle for all other domains          |
