This class is the starting point for working with Amazon SimpleEmailService (SES).
To use Amazon SimpleEmailService you must first sign up here
For more information about Amazon SimpleEmailService:
You can setup default credentials for all AWS services via AWS.config:
AWS.config( :access_key_id => 'YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_ID', :secret_access_key => 'YOUR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY')
Or you can set them directly on the SimpleEmailService interface:
ses = AWS::SimpleEmailService.new( :access_key_id => 'YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_ID', :secret_access_key => 'YOUR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY')
If you want to use Amazon SimpleEmailService to send email from your Rails application you just need to do 2 things:
Configure your AWS credentials with {AWS.config}
Set SES as the delivery method:
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :amazon_ses
This has only been tested with Rails 2.3 and Rails 3.0.
Until you have requested production access you will only be able to send emails to and from verified email addresses. To verify an email address:
ses.email_addresses.verify('youremailaddress@domain.com')
AWS will send an email to the given email address. Follow the link in the email to verify the address.
To explore the email addresses you have authorized:
ses.email_addresses.each do |address| puts address end
See {EmailAddressCollection} for more information on working with SES email addresses.
To send a basic email you can use {send_email}.
ses.send_email( :subject => 'A Sample Email', :from => 'sender@domain.com', :to => 'receipient@domain.com', :body_text => 'Sample email text.', :body_html => '<h1>Sample Email</h1>')
If you need to send email with attachments or have other special needs that #send_email does not support you can use {send_raw_email}.
ses.send_raw_email(<<EMAIL) Subject: A Sample Email From: sender@domain.com To: receipient@domain.com Sample email text. EMAIL
If you prefer, you can also set the sender and recipient in ruby when sending raw emails:
ses.send_raw_email("Subject: A Sample Email Sample email text. ", :to => 'to@foo.com', :from => 'from@foo.com')
Based on several factors, Amazon SES determines how much email you can send and how quickly you can send it. These sending limits are defined as follows:
:max_send_rate
— Maximum number of emails you can send per
second.
:max_24_hour_send
- Maximum number of emails you can send in a
24-hour period.
To get your current quotas (and how many emails you have sent in the last 24 hours):
ses.quotas # => {:max_24_hour_send=>200, :max_send_rate=>1.0, :sent_last_24_hours=>22}
You can get statistics about individual emails:
ses.statistics.each do |stats| puts "Sent: #{stats[:sent]}" puts "Delivery Attempts: #{stats[:delivery_attempts]}" puts "Rejects: #{stats[:rejects]}" puts "Bounces: #{stats[:bounces]}" puts "Complaints: #{stats[:complaints]}" end
for compatability with ActionMailer
@return [EmailAddressCollection] Returns a collection that represents
all of the verified email addresses for your account.
# File lib/aws/simple_email_service.rb, line 150 def email_addresses EmailAddressCollection.new(:config => config) end
@example
ses.quotas # {:max_24_hour_send=>200, :max_send_rate=>1.0, :sent_last_24_hours=>22}
@return [Hash] Returns a hash of SES quotas and limits.
# File lib/aws/simple_email_service.rb, line 317 def quotas Quotas.new(:config => config).to_h end
Sends an email.
ses.send_email( :subject => 'A Sample Email', :to => 'john@doe.com', :from => 'no@reply.com', :body_text => 'sample text ...', :body_html => '<p>sample text ...</p>')
You can also pass multiple email addresses for the :to
,
:cc
, :bcc
and :reply_to
options.
Email addresses can also be formatted with names.
ses.send_email( :subject => 'A Sample Email', :to => ['"John Doe" <john@doe.com>', '"Jane Doe" <jane@doe.com>'], :from => 'no@reply.com', :body_text => 'sample text ...')
@param [Hash] options @option options [required,String] :subject The subject of the message.
A short summary of the content, which will appear in the # recipient's inbox.
@option options [required,String] :from The sender’s email address. @option options [String,Array] :to The address(es) to send the email to. @option options [String,Array] :cc The address(es) to cc (carbon copy)
the email to.
@option options [String,Array] :bcc The address(es) to bcc (blind
carbon copy) the email to.
@option options [String,Array] :reply_to The reply-to email address(es)
for the message. If the recipient replies to the message, each reply-to address will receive the reply.
@option options [String] :return_path The email address to which
bounce notifications are to be forwarded. If the message cannot be delivered to the recipient, then an error message will be returned from the recipient's ISP; this message will then be forwarded to the email address specified by the +:return_path+ option.
@option options [String] :body_text The email text contents.
You must provide +:body_text+, +:body_html+ or both.
@option options [String] :body_html The email html contents.
You must provide +:body_text+, +:body_html+ or both.
@option options [String] :subject_charset The character set of the
+:subject+ string. If the text must contain any other characters, then you must also specify the character set. Examples include UTF-8, ISO-8859-1, and Shift_JIS. Defaults to 7-bit ASCII.
@option options [String] :body_text_charset The character set of the
+:body_text+ string. If the text must contain any other characters, then you must also specify the character set. Examples include UTF-8, ISO-8859-1, and Shift_JIS. Defaults to 7-bit ASCII.
@option options [String] :body_html_charset The character set of the
+:body_html+ string. If the text must contain any other characters, then you must also specify the character set. Examples include UTF-8, ISO-8859-1, and Shift_JIS. Defaults to 7-bit ASCII.
@option options [String] :body_html @return [nil]

Sends a raw email (email message, with header and content specified). Useful for sending multipart MIME emails. The raw text of the message must comply with Internet email standards; otherwise, the message cannot be sent.
raw = <<-EMAIL Date: Wed, 1 Jun 2011 09:13:07 -0700 Subject: A Sample Email From: "John Doe" <johndoe@domain.com> To: "Jane Doe" <janedoe@domain.com> Accept-Language: en-US Content-Language: en-US Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 MIME-Version: 1.0 c2FtcGxlIHRleHQNCg== EMAIL ses.send_raw_email(raw)
Amazon SES has a limit on the total number of recipients per message: The combined number of To:, CC: and BCC: email addresses cannot exceed 50. If you need to send an email message to a larger audience, you can divide your recipient list into groups of 50 or fewer, and then call Amazon SES repeatedly to send the message to each group.
@param [required, String] raw_message The raw text of the message.
You can pass in any object whos #to_s returns a valid formatted email (e.g. ruby Mail gem). The raw message should: * Contain a header and a body, separated by a blank line * Contain all required internet email headers * Each part of a multipart MIME message must be formatted properly * MIME content types must be among those supported by Amazon SES. Refer to the Amazon SES Developer Guide for more details. * Use content that is base64-encoded, if MIME requires it
@option options [String,Array] :to One or more email addresses to
send the email to.
@option options [String] :from The sender’s email address.
If you specify the :from option, then bounce notifications and complaints will be sent to this email address. This takes precedence over any Return-Path header that you might include in the +raw_message+.
@return [nil]
