An ebextensions solution for configuring an Elastic Beanstalk deployment to be able to use the integrated mail client, sendmail, with Amazon's email service, Amazon SES
The default linux image used by Amazon EC2 instances, Amazon Linux AMI, includes the email client, sendmail, that can be used to send emails.
This repository provides an ebextensions solution to configure sendmail to use Amazon SES.
This solution only provides a way to automate the configuration described in Amazon's official documentation.
Please check the Prerequisites and read the documentation thoroughly before using this.
Add the following environmental variables to your EB environment:
MAIL_HOST- The SMTP server to use EXemail-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com(refer to smtp connection strings at the bottom of the page)MAIL_USERNAME- Amazon SES usernameMAIL_PASSWORD- Amazon SES passwordMAIL_DOMAIN- Verified domain to send mail from. Must be qualified with Amazon SES
Copy the .ebextensions folder to the top level of your application directory
Sendmail usage is normal but you must specify the sender address as a verified SES email address using the -f option like so:
sudo /usr/sbin/sendmail -f sender@example.com to@example.comMake a PR for some extra functionality and I will happily accept it :)
