Creating and configuring e-mail in AWS (SES)

Navigation
2

I have an application in PHP and I need an email that will only serve to confirm registrations in my system ([email protected]). I was taking a look at Amazon SES, however, I had some doubts:

  • How to create a custom email, such as: [email protected] or [email protected]?
  • Do I need to create a Record Set on Route 53 of type MX for this email? If yes, how do I correctly set this Record Set ?
  • Do I need to release port 25 (SMTP) in my Security Group or using SES, is this not necessary?
  • In Amazon SES itself there is the area for checking emails ( Verify a New Email Address ), I just sent to test a verification for the email [email protected] however since I will be able to have access to the content of e -mail, and the email in question does not even exist?
  • I'm using PHP's own mail function, does it work properly with SES, or would it need to implement it in a different way?

    1 - The 'user' configuration is used to send the SMTP type, so you only need the domain.

    2 - The configuration of MX on route 53 will only be necessary if you want to receive email via 'user' @ 'your domain', in which case you need to have an external email service via SMTP, or an SMTP email application , on your server.

    3 - You do not need to release the door.

    4 - In case the email verification is exclusive to the domain, then you do the configuration, after that you need to open a call on Amazon, requesting the increase of the SES service, which in the beginning is only test and stops the emails that you have checked. After the request and approval you can continue the SES process

    5 - The PHP mail function works, but it is best to use an SMTP package.

    An observation: When you receive the confirmation of the SES release, you receive a User and a Password, just use that user and password in SMTP, save the error on port 587, the host will be a tbm address that Amazon informs. When you create the email, you configure the data: FROM 'email you want to appear as sender', NAME 'the name you want'
