h1. Amazon SES for CiviCRM 

 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. 

 _Pre-requisites: DNS access_ 

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