[bramahdev]

Hello to all

I trying to install Maxbulk smtpserver with Amazon SES

In the configuration of maxbulk i do not fund where i can put the port.... i need to configure the port 465

this is the Amazon SES setup:

Using SMTP to Send Email with Amazon SES

Use the Amazon SES SMTP interface to integrate Amazon SES with your existing SMTP-enabled applications. You can send email using many email client programs, packaged software applications, and email servers. You can also add email capabilities to new applications that you create, provided that your programming language of choice has SMTP support. To learn more about the Amazon SES SMTP interface, click here.

To send email using SMTP, you will need to know the following:
Server Name: email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com
Port: 465
Use Transport Layer Security (TLS): Yes
Authentication: Your SMTP credentials - see below.

Please help

I have the same problem connecting to your server with Telnet:

maxprog$ telnet email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com 465
Trying 107.22.186.214...
Connected to ses-smtp-prod-335357831.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
helo stan
Connection closed by foreign host.

Have you tried to remove the port and use TLSv1 for the security?

Could we just have a straight forward set of instructions that tell us how to use MaxBulk Mailer with Amazon SES? I have wanted to use this app for some time, but am looking at other options like Woosh because I absolutely must use Amazon SES for our requirements.

 

[stanbusk]

MaxBulk Mailer is an email client. As such it needs a SMTP server address to connect to. As far as I know Amazon SES is not a SMTP service and doesn't offer a SMTP server, am I true? Last time I looked at Amazon SES I could see it was a nonstandard proprietary system. Once I heard they would provide a SMTP service as well.

 

[fsonic]

You only have to use the Amazon SES API. It really should be quite doable by the developer to integrate the API for delivery vs standard SMTP.

However if the developer is bent on not touching anything but SMTP, there are options such as:
https://github.com/pzb/groat-smtpd

And of course some hunting could go on here:
https://github.com/search?type=Reposito ... rt_value=1

There are some that already work:
Whoosh: http://www.theescapers.com/whoosh/
MailDrop: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/8162/maildrop

And I've seen a few others floating around.

I have looked at the SES documentation and it says:

After you have obtained your SMTP credentials, you can begin sending email through Amazon SES. You can use any email client application, provided that it can communicate via SMTP and connect to an SMTP endpoint using Transport Layer Security (TLS).

To configure your email client, you must provide the Amazon Simple Email Service SMTP interface hostname and port number (email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com:465), along with your SMTP user name and password.

So indeed, the SES SMTP server address is 'email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com', you have to set security to 'TLS v1' and the authentication scheme to ESMTP.

Try it and let me know if it works for you!

Add my name to the list of MaxBulk Mailer Pro customers who would like to see a configuration setting for Amazon's Simple Email Service. This is an elegant workaround for the sending limits imposed by many ISPs, and it saves a lot of time.

MaxProg could get some ideas on making this easy for its customers by looking at Whoosh, a purpose-built application that does this. <http://www.theescapers.com/whoosh/index.html>

If I need to migrate to Whoosh for this, I'll need to justify the next MaxBulk upgrade fee.
