| 3 | If you're visiting this page and distressed by its incompleteness - rest assured that we HAVE successfully set up Amazon SES on EC2 for a client. However, we didn't document it - this page is to capture the documentation from setting up SES in January 2015 for a new client. |

| 6 | |||
| 7 | * Have client sign up for Amazon AWS, which involves credit cards, identity verification, etc. |
||
| 8 | * Ideally, have them click on "SES" at the AWS console, to do the phone verification. |
||
| 9 | * Log onto AWS, select SES. Note that you only have sandbox access at this time. |
||
| 10 | * Click on "SMTP Settings" on the left, record the server info, generate SMTP credentials and record those too. |
||
| 11 | * Click on "Verified Senders: Domains". Click "Verify a new Domain". Enter the client's domain name; also click "Generate DKIM settings". |
||
| 12 | * Download these credentials, don't just copy/paste from the screen, because they tend to get cut off. |
||
| 13 | * Update the DNS with the verification credentials. |
||
| 14 | ** *NOTE: This will likely take several hours, even after DNS has propagated.* |
||
| 15 | * Also add your own e-mail address the the verified sender - email address list. This just requires receiving a verification email. |
