What is it?
===========

[](#what-is-it)

It's a simple transport for use with Swiftmailer to send mail over AWS SES.

As on December 2011, Amazon [provides an SMTP interface to SES](http://aws.amazon.com/ses/faqs/#21), so you may prefer to use Swiftmailer's built in SMTP transport.

Where do I put it?
==================

[](#where-do-i-put-it)

Whereever you want, so long as you include it in your code.

Otherwise Swift can autoload it if you put the files in this directory:

```
[swift library root]/classes/Swift/AWSTransport.php

```

How do I use it?
================

[](#how-do-i-use-it)

Like any other Swiftmailer transport:

```
//Create the Transport
$transport = Swift_AWSTransport::newInstance( 'AWS_ACCESS_KEY', 'AWS_SECRET_KEY' );

//Create the Mailer using your created Transport
$mailer = Swift_Mailer::newInstance($transport);

$mailer->send($message);

```

Symfony1.X configuration
========================

[](#symfony1x-configuration)

```
```yaml
# app/frontend/config/factories.yml

all:
  mailer:
    class: sfMailer
    param:
      transport:
        class:          Swift_AWSTransport
        accessKeyId:    your-access-key
        secretKey:      Y0uR-$3cr3t5-k3y
        debug:          false
        endpoint:       'https://email.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/' # make sure to use trailing slash !
```

```

How do I get the message ID on send?
====================================

[](#how-do-i-get-the-message-id-on-send)

You need to register the Swift\_Events\_ResponseReceivedListener plugin with a callback. See example/responseListener.php for details.

```
$transport->registerPlugin(
	new Swift_Events_ResponseReceivedListener( function ( $message, $body ) {
		echo sprintf( "Message-ID %s.\n", $body->SendRawEmailResult->MessageId );
	})
);

```

Swiftmailer Version
===================

[](#swiftmailer-version)

Please note that some users [have had issues with older versions of Swiftmailer](https://github.com/jmhobbs/Swiftmailer-Transport--AWS-SES/issues/13).

Versions 4.1.3 and up should work fine.
