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.Hmmm..thinking about this...
I have Amazon SMTP credentials (SMTP Username, and SMTP password). But how do I get Xenforo plugged into SES ?.
Manage my existing SMTP credentials
.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.IAM User Name | Smtp Username | Smtp Password |
I didn't do any of that for mine through SES since you have to use some other services of theirs for storage and what-not. I already had a domain listing with another SMTP provider, and simply use my main domain email on that provider and then send the transactional from the site on a sub-domain.Now, I need to configure a POP3 mailbox to handle bounced email (which we currently have "disabled".
I don't know what the cost is for EC2, but the board I administer is for a non-profit that can't afford much. It was a BIG deal to purchase the XF software.Tying it to EC2 is reasonable. Now, try looking up the cost of a "free" Amazon SSL cert...
There's a comprehensive calculator on AWS that allows you to find out the cost of running the server. Note that it's a bit fiddly to use it, though.I don't know what the cost is for EC2, but the board I administer is for a non-profit that can't afford much. It was a BIG deal to purchase the XF software.
You'll get better performance by paying for an actual quality VPS and then paying the little additional or the Amazon SES delivery. As cheap as it is... hell, I can afford $10-$15 a month, which would give me WELL more than I'll EVER send.I don't know what the cost is for EC2, but the board I administer is for a non-profit that can't afford much.

I receive XF server error messages like the one below from time to time.
What is causing this?

@Tracy Perry It has been two weeks since I unchecked the box "Sender info in from header on contact emails". I have not had any server errors since that time. So, your suggestion has apparently solved my server error problem. Previously I was getting a server error 3 or 4 times per week. Thank you.So, I unchecked the box & saved. I will report back in a few days with results.
On August 1, 2023, the free tier for the Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) will change. We are adding more features to the SES free tier: it now includes more outbound email message sources, SES’ new Virtual Deliverability Manager, and a higher limit for receiving inbound messages. We are also lowering the free tier limit for outbound messages and reducing the duration of the SES free tier to 12 months.
This may affect your bill starting in August 2023. Since you are already using SES, you will be able to take advantage of the revised free tier for another 12 months (until August 2024). Based on your SES usage in May 2023, this change would not have affected your SES bill.
Note this is an estimate based on your usage, and actual billing impact may vary depending on your usage patterns each month and any discounts you may have.
The revised SES free tier offers you more flexibility. Previously, the SES free tier included up 1,000 inbound email messages per month and up to 62,000 outbound messages per month when sent from AWS compute services such as Amazon EC2. The revised free tier includes up to 3,000 messages each month. You can receive inbound messages, send outbound messages sent from anywhere (not just AWS compute services), or try Virtual Deliverability Manager, which gives you easy access to detailed metrics to explore and monitor your email delivery and engagement rates. For new SES customers, the revised free tier is available for the 12 months after you start using SES; for existing SES customers, the revised free tier is available for 12 months starting August 1, 2023.
The revised SES free tier goes live on August 1, 2023, and your account(s) will be enrolled automatically. As part of this change, you will see the label you see on your SES bill for the pricing unit for inbound messages change from “Message” to “Count” - this matches the same way we label outbound messages. We are not able to offer an option to remain on the previous SES free tier model.
To learn more about SES' deliverability tools through Virtual Deliverability Manager, please see the documentation [1]. For more details about the previous free tier, visit the pricing page.
