Codeigniter SMTP Email with Amazon SES

Codeigniter SMTP Email with Amazon SES #

I tried to send SMTP email with Codeigniter with no luck.

I have a verified sender and everything looks good:

$this->load->library(’email’);

$config = array(
‘protocol’ => ‘smtp’,
‘smtp_host’ => ’email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com’,
‘smtp_user’ => ‘SMTP USERNAME’,
‘smtp_pass’ => ‘SMTP PASSWORD’,
‘smtp_port’ => 465,
‘mailtype’ => ‘html’
);

$this->email->initialize($config);
$this->email->print_debugger();

$this->email->from(‘verified_email_address@something.com’, ‘Test From’);
$this->email->to(’email@example.com’, ‘Test To’);
$this->email->subject(‘Test’);
$this->email->message(‘test’);

$this->email->send();
I tried the folowing smtp_host:

email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com
tls://email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com
ssl://email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com
When i echo the print_debugger() i get:

220 email-smtp.amazonaws.com ESMTP SimpleEmailService-194655181
hello: 421 Timeout waiting for data from client.
These tests run on a mediatemple (gs) server.

Here is Some Solutions :

Solution 1: #

$obj = &get_instance();

$config[‘protocol’] = ‘smtp’;
$config[‘smtp_host’] = ’email-smtp.us-west-2.amazonaws.com’;
$config[‘smtp_user’] = ‘USER’;
$config[‘smtp_pass’] = ‘PASS’;
$config[‘smtp_port’] = ‘587’;
$config[‘newline’] = “\r\n”;
$config[‘smtp_crypto’] = ‘tls’;
$obj->email->initialize($config);

$obj->email->set_mailtype(‘html’);
// don’t html_escape email header variables
$obj->email->from(MV_FROM_EMAIL, $from_name);
$obj->email->reply_to($from_email, $from_name);
$obj->email->to($to);
$obj->email->subject($subject);
$obj->email->message($obj->load->view($path, html_escape($data), true));
$obj->email->send();

Solution 2: #

public function enviar_email($para, $assunto, $mensagem, $formato=’html’){
$this->CI->load->library(’email’);
$config[‘mailtype’] = $formato;
$config[‘useragent’] = ‘Post Title’;
$config[‘protocol’] = ‘smtp’;
$config[‘smtp_host’] = ‘tls://email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com’;
$config[‘smtp_user’] = ‘smtpuser’;
$config[‘smtp_pass’] = ‘smtppass’;
$config[‘smtp_port’] = ‘465’;
$config[‘wordwrap’] = TRUE;
$config[‘newline’] = “\r\n”;

$this->CI->email->initialize($config);

$this->CI->email->from(‘Your Verified Sender Email’, ‘Post Title’);
$this->CI->email->to($para);
$this->CI->email->subject($assunto);
$this->CI->email->message($mensagem);

if($this->CI->email->send()):
return TRUE;
else:
$this->CI->email->print_debugger();
endif;

}

Solution 3: #

$test_config[‘protocol’] = ‘smtp’;
$test_config[‘smtp_host’] = ‘ssl://email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com’;
$test_config[‘smtp_port’] = ‘465’;
$test_config[‘smtp_user’] = ‘XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX’;
$test_config[‘smtp_pass’] = ‘YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY’;
$test_config[‘newline’] = “\r\n”;

$this->email->initialize($test_config);

$this->email->from(‘from@test.com’, ‘From at Test.com’);
$this->email->to(‘To@Test.com’);

$this->email->subject(‘Email Test’);
$this->email->message(‘Testing the email class.’);

$this->email->send();
