I think yesterday Amazon announced SMTP support for SES (Simple Email Service). I tried to send SMTP email with Codeigniter with no luck. I have a verified sender and everything looks good: $this->load->library('email'); $config = array( 'protocol' => 'smtp', 'smtp_host' => 'email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com', 'smtp_user' => 'SMTP USERNAME', 'smtp_pass' => 'SMTP PASSWORD', 'smtp_port' => 465, 'mailtype' => 'html' ); $this->email->initialize($config); $this->email->print_debugger(); $this->email->from('verified_email_address@something.com', 'Test From'); $this->email->to('email@example.com',

What would be the correct SPF record to use for both Amazon SES and Google Apps together: Google Apps says they want you to have the tilde "~" in it: http://support.google.com/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=178723 , but most other examples have a dash "-" instead. Amazon wants: "v=spf1 include:amazonses.com -all" Google wants: "v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all" We currently have this, combining both together: TXT "v=spf1 include:amazonses.com include:_spf.google.com ~all" SPF "v=spf1 include:amazonses.com include:_spf.google.com ~all" 1) Is this the correct SPF record? 2) Are we missing

I'm sending weekly emails to subscribers and it turns out that messages are frequently going to the spam folder for users. I'm utilizing Amazon SES to send these messages and have added an SPF record according to their instructions: http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/SPFSenderIDDKIM.html?r=3917 In querying the SPF records for my domain I get the following back from http://www.kitterman.com/spf/validate.html : SPF record lookup and validation for: mydomain.tld SPF records are primarily published in DNS as TXT records. The TXT records found for your domain are: SPF

I am using amazon SES for sending notification mails. Mails are getting delivered but sometimes mails are moved to spam folder. How is it so? If my method of sending mails is same then why some mails are considered as spam and others not? Please explain. Thanks in advance Great question.

It is a joint responsibility both of the platform you're using (in this case, you mention Amazon SES) and your particular sending program. Depending on whom you're sending to and what sort of

I'm trying to use Amazon's new SMTP service for SES with Django 1.3.1 but I'm not having much luck. I've created my SES SMTP credentials and have this in my settings: EMAIL_USE_TLS = True EMAIL_HOST = 'email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com' EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'my-smtp-user' EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'my-smtp-password' EMAIL_PORT = 465 Then I try sending a test email (from and to verified email addresses): from django.core.mail import send_mail send_mail('Test subject', 'This is the body', 'info@abc.com',['hello@abc.com'], fail_silently=False) But I get the following error: SMTPServerDisconnected:
