sending email from aws ec2 (service limit request refused)

I run a simple mybb forum on AWS EC2 and I wish to send notifications to my users.

I have tried to request aws regarding upgrade of my email sending quota but they have refused. Also tried SES but request is refused again.

Is there any way out I can reach my audience? Wondering if I can do a http GET request to a SMTP server to send emails?

You definitely don't want to send emails directly from your ec2 server, and I would generally recommend SES instead - but if for whatever reason that doesn't suit your needs, any SMTP server should work fine - doesn't need to be an GET request, just plug in your SMTP credentials to whatever service you are using - gmail, ses, mailchimp, sendgrid, mailgun - pretty much any service is available to you and should work fine.
