Step-by-step instructions to use Amazon Cloud Amazon ses to send mail throughout the process

use SES to send messages

(1) When using ses (simple email Service) to send an email, we need to add a sender's mailbox (verify email sender), SES use this sender's mailbox as the sender, after adding the authenticated sender, Need to login sender email Click confirm connection.
SNS (simple messaging service) also has a similar function, called topic, similar to mail group, add multiple verified receivers to a topic, and then in Cloudwatch or other service calls, to send group mail. This time the SNS is not discussed first.
You can use this small snippet of code to add verified sender

Import boto.ses
conn = boto.ses.connect_to_region (' us-east-1 ')
Conn.verify_email_address (' sender@address.com ')

By the time I write these, SES only supports three regions, Virginia,ireland,oregon (corresponding to Us-east-1, Eu-west-1, us-west-2)
(2) Next we collect SMTP credential related information
In SMTP settings we can see SMTP-related information, such as the Virginia area:

Server name:email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com
PORT:25, 465 or 587
Use transport Layer Security (TLS): Yes
Authentication:your SMTP Credentials-see below.

Then create an SMTP credential Click to create, and he automatically creates an IAM role and authorizes it, and produces a set of information similar to accesskey, but the name becomes username and password, like this:

IAM User name,smtp username,smtp Password
"Ses-smtp-user.xxxx", akixxx,aqbxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

(3) This information is collected by using SMTP email. You can use Configobj to load credential in a configuration file and Smtplib to create an object to send messages to

Import Smtplib
From configobj import configobj

CFG = configobj (Config_path)
Cfg_dict = Cfg.dict ()
Host = cfg_dict["Server"]
FROM_ADDR = cfg_dict["From_addr"]
Username = cfg_dict["username"]
Password = cfg_dict["Password"]

Server = Smtplib. SMTP (host)
Server.starttls ()
Server.login (username, password)
Server.sendmail (FROM_ADDR, receivers, body)
Server.quit ()

Configuration file Shape:

Server = email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com
FROM_ADDR = sender@domain.com
Username = akixxx
Password = aqbxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
