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

  1. How to create a custom email, such as: [email protected] or [email protected]?
  2. I need to create a Record Set on Route 53 of the type MX to that email? If yes, how to properly configure that email Record Set?
  3. Need to release port 25 (SMTP) in my Security Group or with the use of SES this is not necessary?
  4. In Amazon SES itself there is the area for checking emails (Verify a New Email Address), I only sent to test a check for the email [email protected] however how I will be able to access the content of the email, and the email in question does not even exist?
  5. I’m using my own function mail of PHP, it works correctly with SES or it would be necessary to implement it in a different way?

    Answering the first question, you can buy an email on godaddy.com.br if I’m not mistaken are 5 real per month.

  • @Marconi then cannot create directly through Amazon?

  • Igor with this custom email that you will buy you can send email by SES. I think will come a great answer. Your question is very good.

1 - User configuration is used in SMTP type sending, so Voce only needs the domain.

2 - Setting up MX on route 53 is only 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 - No need to release the door.

4 - In the case of email verification is unique to the domain, then Voce makes the configuration, after that Voce needs 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 Voce checked. After the request and approval Voce can continue the SES process

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

One remark.: When Voce receives the confirmation of the release of SES, Voce receives a User and a Password, only use this user and password in SMTP, save mistake on port 587, the host will be a tbm address that Amazon informs. When Voce is creating the email, Voce configures the data: FROM 'email that Voce wants to appear as sender', NAME 'the name that Voce wants'
