Getting Set Up ============== [](#getting-set-up) Once you have `git clone`d the repo, or added it as a Git Submodule, add the following constants to your `wp-config.php`: ``` define( 'AWS_SES_WP_MAIL_REGION', 'us-east-1' ); define( 'AWS_SES_WP_MAIL_KEY', '' ); define( 'AWS_SES_WP_MAIL_SECRET', '' ); define( 'AWS_SES_WP_MAIL_CONFIG_SET', '' ); ``` If you plan to use IAM instance profiles to protect your AWS credentials on disk you'll need the following configuration instead: ``` define('AWS_SES_WP_MAIL_REGION', 'us-east-1'); define('AWS_SES_WP_MAIL_USE_INSTANCE_PROFILE', true); ``` The next thing that you should do is to verify your sending domain for SES. You can do this via the AWS Console, which will allow you to automatically set headers if your DNS is hosted on Route 53. Alternatively, you can get the required DNS records by running: ``` wp aws-ses verify-sending-domain ``` Once you have verified your sending domain, you are all good to go! **Note:** If you have not used SES in production previously, you need to apply to [move out of the Amazon SES sandbox](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/request-production-access.html). ### Configuration Sets [](#configuration-sets) To better track your mail activity for monitoring or statistics you can use the configuration sets. To enable it you will first need to create your Configuration Set on AWS SES Console and add the configuration set name as the value to the `AWS_SES_WP_MAIL_CONFIG_SET` constant. Detailed information on the setup and usage you find here: Other Commands ============== [](#other-commands) `wp aws-ses send [--from-email=]` Send a test email via the command line.
