amazon_ses

= 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("[e-mail]",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.

== Note on Patches/Pull Requests

• 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.
