What you get

What you can do with Amazon SES

Signed requests

Each request is signed with AWS Signature Version 4, built into the plugin.

Secret stays put

The Secret Access Key is used to sign requests and is never sent itself.

Pick your region

Choose the SES region in the popup, from US East (N. Virginia) to Asia Pacific (Sydney).

All recipients

To, CC, BCC and Reply-To addresses are passed to SES with each message.

Takes over wp_mail

Once all three settings are saved, every wp_mail message goes through SES.

Failures reported

If SES refuses a message, its error goes to wp_mail_failed and the web server doesn’t resend it.
