=== Plugin Name === Contributors: SylvainDeaure Donate link: http://wp-ses.com/donate.html Tags: email,ses,amazon,webservice,delivrability,newsletter,autoresponder,mail,wp_mail,smtp,service Requires at least: 3.0.0 Tested up to: 4.1 Stable tag: trunk

WP-SES redirects all outgoing WordPress emails through Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) for maximum email delivrability.

== Description ==

WP-SES redirects All outgoing WordPress emails through Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) instead of local wp_mail function. This ensures high email delivrability, email trafic statistics and a powerful managed infrastructure.

This plugin is functionnal and I use it on several websites. WPMU features are so far experimental.

Current features are:

• Ability to adjust WordPress Default Sender Email and Name
• Validation of Amazon API Credentials
• Request confirmation for sender Emails
• Test message within Amazon Sandbox mode
• Full integration as seamless replacement for wp_mail internal function
• Dasboard panel with Quota and statistics
• Ability to customize return path for delivery failure notifications
• Custom Reply-To or from Headers
• Default config values for centralised WPMU setups
• SES Endpoint selection
• Mails with attachments (Compatible with Contact Form 7)
• File logging feature (may be verbose and unsecure, do not use as is in production for a long period of time)

See full features at http://wp-ses.com/features.html

Roadmap

• Graphical SES Statistics
• Full featured Error management
• Control of sending rate
• Notice for volume limits
• Bounce and blacklist management

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Where can I find support for the plugin ? =

Please use our main website http://wp-ses.com/faq.html for all support related questions.

= What are the pre-requisites ? =

• A WP3+ Self hosted WordPress Blog
• PHP5 and Curl PHP extension
• An Amazon Web Service account
• Validate your SES service

= Can you help me about... (an Amazon concern) =

We are not otherwise linked to Amazon or Amazon Services. Please direct your specific Amazon questions to the Amazon support.

= How to setup default values for a WPMU install ? =

Please, DO test your setting without this. Then, when all works as expected, fill in the config file.

Edit the wp-config.php file, and add what you want to define. Here is a complete setup, some defines are optionnal.

// WP-SES defines

// Amazon Access Key
define('WP_SES_ACCESS_KEY','blablablakey');

// Amazon Secret Key
define('WP_SES_SECRET_KEY','blablablasecret');

// From mail (optional) must be an amazon SES validated email
// hard coded email, leave empty or comment out to allow custom setting via panel
define('WP_SES_FROM','me@....');

// Return path for bounced emails (optional)
// hard coded email, leave empty or comment out to allow custom setting via panel
define('WP_SES_RETURNPATH','return@....');

// ReplyTo (optional) - This will get the replies from the recipients.
// hard coded email, or 'headers' for using the 'replyto' from the headers.
// Leave empty or comment out to allow custom setting via panel
define('WP_SES_REPLYTO','headers');

// Hide list of verified emails (optional)
define('WP_SES_HIDE_VERIFIED',true);

// Hide SES Stats panel (optional)
define('WP_SES_HIDE_STATS',true);

// Auto activate the plugin for all sites (optional)
define('WP_SES_AUTOACTIVATE',true);

When using defines to hardcode your setting, don't forget to define the SES endpoints, too :

define('WP_SES_ENDPOINT', 'email.us-east-1.amazonaws.com');
OR
define('WP_SES_ENDPOINT', 'email.us-west-2.amazonaws.com');
OR
define('WP_SES_ENDPOINT', 'email.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com');
