## Description

AWS Automatic SES configures WordPress run on an EC2 instance to use SES for email
delivery.

This plugin is **not** for generic use of SES. If you want to use SES outside of
EC2 or have more control over the settings, then use another [SES](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/ses)
email plugin.

 * Region is automatically picked based on the region the EC2 instance is run in.
 * The EC2 instance’s Role is used and expected to have the necessary permissions
   for sending raw emails.
 * Only sender addresses verified for use with SES are used.

AWS permissions:

 * `ses:SendRawEmail` (**required**) – Required for basic email sending functionality.
 * `ses:GetIdentityVerificationAttributes` – If granted, will be used to warn if
   the default sender is not verified in SES. Required if you want AWS Automatic
   SES to permit the use of any from address that is verified in SES.
 * `ses:ListIdentities` (_optional_) – Optionally used to display a short list of
   identities verified in SES on the settings page.

## Installation

 1. Install aws-auto-ses from the WordPress.org plugin repository.
 2. Activate it on your plugins page.
 3. Use the **SES Options** settings page to ensure your role has the correct permissions
    and the sender(s) are verified.
 4. On the **SES Options** page enable delivery via SES.
