Module: AWS::SES::SendEmail

Included in:
Base
Defined in:
lib/aws/ses/send_email.rb

Overview

Adds functionality for send_email and send_raw_email Use the following to send an e-mail:

ses = AWS::SES::Base.new( ... connection info ... )
ses.send_email :to        => ['[email protected]', '[email protected]'],
             :source    => '"Steve Smith" <[email protected]>',
             :subject   => 'Subject Line'
             :text_body => 'Internal text body'

By default, the email “from” display address is whatever is before the @. To change the display from, use the format: 

"Steve Smith" <[email protected]>

You can also send Mail objects using send_raw_email:

m = Mail.new( :to => ..., :from => ... )
ses.send_raw_email(m)

send_raw_email will also take a hash and pass it through Mail.new automatically as well.

#send_raw_email(mail, args = {}) ⇒ Response Also known as: deliver!, deliver

Sends using the SendRawEmail method This gives the most control and flexibility

This uses the underlying Mail object from the mail gem You can pass in a Mail object, a Hash of params that will be parsed by Mail.new, or just a string

Note that the params are different from send_email Specifically, the following fields from send_email will NOT work:

  • :source

  • :html_body

  • :text_body

send_email accepts the aliases of :from & :body in order to be more compatible with the Mail gem

This method is aliased as deliver and deliver! for compatibility (especially with Rails)

Parameters:

  • mail (Hash) —

    a customizable set of options

  • args (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    a customizable set of options

Options Hash (mail):

  • A (String) —

    raw string that is a properly formatted e-mail message

  • A (Hash) —

    hash that will be parsed by Mail.new

  • A (Mail) —

    mail object, ready to be encoded

Options Hash (args):

  • :source (String) —

    The sender’s email address

  • :destinations (String) —

    A list of destinations for the message.
