Clarification on how to use SES as Delivery Method #141

Closed rodriguevara closed 1 month ago

rodriguevara commented 2 months ago

Hi there, I currently use smtp as ActionMailer delivery method, with config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp and the corresponding config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {... in my application.rb. In order to switch to the SES API, the only thing I need to do is change the delivery method to config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :ses? That's it? I have my AWS credentials and region as ENV variables in my applitacion.yml

Thanks in advance

Hi! Yes, that is correct on the app-side.

For additional context:

Provides a delivery method for ActionMailer that uses Amazon Simple Email Service. Once you have an SES delivery method you can configure Rails to use this for ActionMailer in your environment configuration (e.g. RAILS_ROOT/config/environments/production.rb)

config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :ses

Uses the AWS SDK for Ruby’s credential provider chain when creating an SES client instance.

I'm not sure how far along are you with setting up SES on your end but I will include this link, Creating and verifying identities in Amazon SES to get started. Hope this helps.
