Another Django Email Backend on top of Amazon Simple Email Service (SES). Supports Django 1.9, 1.10, 1.11, 2.0, 2.1
. Using the latest boto3 to make API Calls, Tested using moto
Every web application needs to send email at some point, may it be verification, password resets, updates etc..., Django by default supports SMTP protocol, simply specify smtp credentials and you are ready to go. But when you use Amazon Services such as SES the preferred way is to access it via its API.
So Here it is guys. Simply install it, give the SES credentials, and start sending Emails. More over if your application is hosted in AWS first ~60000 emails are free every month
This package is available via pip, So install it using pip
pip install django_ses_email_backend
and add it in your INSTALLED_APPS section of settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = [
'django_ses',
...
]
Obviously you need to have access to an AWS SES account, generate credentials by following this guide or if you already have access keys use it.
in your settings.py add it as follows
SES_ACCESS_KEY = 'xxx'
SES_SECRET_KEY = 'xxx'
SES_REGION_NAME = 'us-east-1'
SES_REGION_NAME is optional defaults to us-east-1
You need to verify domain or verify email in order to send emails outside
Once the setup is done you can send emails as usual, your existing calls to emails should work without any modifications
send_mail(subject="Test Subject", message="Message", from_email="from@example.com", recipient_list=['to@example.com'])
email = EmailMessage(
'Subject 1',
'Body1 goes here',
'from@example.com',
['to1@example.com', 'to2@example.com'],
reply_to=['another@example.com'],
)
email.send()
