Proof of concept derisking for email notifications

[loganmeetsworld]

Outcome: An end-to-end proof of concept sending a simple email from our application to a test user account. For example, emails the applicant when their domain request is submitted.

This covers the ability for us to send existing registrants and domain applications emails to notify them of actions taken on their applications. We have many use cases for being able to email applicants and domain managers. This ticket doesn't include implementing any of those specific emails, but rather derisking the infrastructure needed for it.

• Set up access for dev team to CISA AWS account and ensure SES is present (blocked pending access)
• Setup SES to send emails
• Find a client that works for connecting to SES through our application
• Figure out a way to store SMTP credentials so our application has access
• Related, connect SES to our cloud.gov account through a brokerpak or some other means.

Helpful resources for figuring this out will be the data.gov team that wrote the broker, the Notify team, and other folks that have made this work with cloud.gov.

This will be blocked on our access to AWS accounts.
