nodemailer-ses-transport

SES transport module for Nodemailer

Applies for Nodemailer v1+ and not for v0.x where transports are built-in.

Usage

Install with npm

npm install nodemailer-ses-transport

Require to your script

var nodemailer = require('nodemailer');
var sesTransport = require('nodemailer-ses-transport');

Create a Nodemailer transport object

var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport(sesTransport(options))

Where

• options defines connection data
  • ses - instantiated AWS SES object. If not provided then one is generated automatically using the other options
  • accessKeyId - optional AWS access key. Not used if options.ses is set.
  • secretAccessKey - optional AWS secret. Not used if options.ses is set.
  • sessionToken - optional session token. Not used if options.ses is set.
  • region - optional Specify the region to send the service request to. Defaults to us-east-1. Not used if options.ses is set.
  • httpOptions - A set of options to pass to the low-level AWS HTTP request. See options in the AWS-SES docs. Not used if options.ses is set.
  • rateLimit - optional Specify the amount of messages that can be sent in 1 second. For example if you want to send at most 5 messages in a second, set this value to 5. If you do not set it, rate limiting is not applied and messages are sent out immediately.

Examples

Example 1. Use AWS credentials to set up the sender

var transport = nodemailer.createTransport(sesTransport({
    accessKeyId: "AWSACCESSKEY",
    secretAccessKey: "AWS/Secret/key",
    rateLimit: 5 // do not send more than 5 messages in a second
}));

Example 2. Use already existing AWS SES object instance

var ses = new AWS.SES({accessKeyId:....});
var transport = nodemailer.createTransport(sesTransport({
    ses: ses
}));
