Hmmm..thinking about this...
I have Amazon SMTP credentials (SMTP Username, and SMTP password). But how do I get Xenforo plugged into SES ?.
Once you have your key ID... you should be able to use that as the username... I think you still have to set up your user accounts in addition so that it relays it.
I showed an example of what the SMTP looks like (without my ID key shown) in an earlier post.
I'm not talking about the "verified identities" where you set up your normal email accounts.
Choose the SMTP settings, then the
Manage my existing SMTP credentials
.
You will probably have one listed something like ses-smtp-user.xxxxxxx if you took the default options when first setting up.
Click on that user, then choose security credentials for that user.... scroll down until you see
Access Keys
. If you don't already have one created, you will need to do so. That is the "username" that I use to log in via the SMTP settings in XF.
Now, whether that's the best/correct way? Not sure... all I know is it has been working great for me.
