AWS SES Email Sender

A Python implementation for sending emails using Amazon Simple Email Service (AWS SES). The main purpose of this python code is to send out mass marketing html emails using AWS SES service.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.11.7
• boto3 1.34.66 (AWS SDK for Python)
• AWS Account with SES access
• AWS Access Key and Secret Access Key

Installation

Install the required AWS SDK for Python:

pip install boto3

Configuration

You'll need to configure the following AWS credentials:

aws_access_key_id = <Your Access Key>
aws_secret_access_key = <Your secret access key>
myregion = <your region>

Required Libraries

import boto3
from botocore.exceptions import ClientError, WaiterError
import logging

Usage

The main functionality is provided through the Send_SES_Email function. Here's a working example from the implementation:

message_id = Send_SES_Email(
    aws_access_key_id,
    aws_secret_access_key,
    'ap-southeast-1',
    '[email protected]',
    ['[email protected]', '[email protected]'],
    [],  # CC addresses (empty in this example)
    [],  # BCC addresses (empty in this example)
    'Test Email Subject 5',
    'This is a test email body 5',
    'This is a test email html body 5'
)

The implementation includes error handling using try-except blocks:

• Logs successful sends with message ID and source address
• Catches and logs ClientError exceptions
• Uses Python's logging module for error tracking
