amazon_ses¶ ↑

Really simple gem that allows you to send email through amazon simple email service.

Installation

gem install amazon_ses

Usage: require ‘rubygems’ require ‘amazon_ses’

# all methods return a raw http response object # to get the xml just call body on the return object from any of # the following methods. # Exceptions will be throw on any api call that doesn’t result in # a 200 OK response from amazon. # you must have a verified address with amazon to send mail AmazonSES::Verify.address(“youremail@gmail.com”,amazon_secret,amazon_key)

# after verifying the address you can send mail

# simple send mail text only AmazonSES::AmzMail.send(from,to,subject,body,secret,key) # send html email AmazonSES::AmzMail.send_html(from,to,subject,body,secret,key) # if you produce your own email via the mail gem you can pass the result of calling to_s on the mail object # to the following method AmazonSES::AmzMail.send_raw(mail_string,amazon_secret,amazon_key)

# the following are two methods for getting stats

puts AmazonSES::Stats.send_quota(amazon_secret,amazon_key).body puts AmazonSES::Stats.send_stats(amazon_secret,amazon_key).body

# the following is a helper object for looking at your stats

stobj = StatObject.new(amazon_secret,amazon_key) puts stobj.sent_last_24_hours puts stobj.reached_quota?

Hope you enjoy the Gem. If anyone wants to write a plugin for rails I would link definately link to it and find it useful.

• Fork the project.

• Make your feature addition or bug fix.

• Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

• Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)

• Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
