AWS SES Timeout

问题

I am using Rails 4.2, the AWS-SES gem and the Mailform gem. I am trying to set up AWS SES in development and have added this to config/development.rb:

  # Configure mail using AWS SES
  config.after_initialize do
    ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :amazon_ses
    ActionMailer::Base.custom_amazon_ses_mailer = AWS::SES::Base.new(
        :secret_access_key => ENV['AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'],
        :access_key_id => ENV['AWS_SECRET_KEY_ID'],
        :server => 'email.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com'
    )
  end

When I attempt to send emails from the console, I am getting a timeout after 30 seconds. I started to write all this up asking for help, but then it occurred to me that MailForm may not be derived from ActionMailer. Sure enough, MailForm::Base has superclass Object, so configuring ActionMailer is pointless.

I changed these two lines to configure MailForm::Base, but I still get a timeout. Is it possible that these two gems are not compatible? Otherwise, any suggestions to either resolve or troubleshoot would be appreciated.

回答1:

As I mentioned in my question, the MailForm and AWS-SES gems are not compatible out of the box. It is possible that they can be made to work together but I took a different route.

Some keys to setting up AWS-SES (code included below for reference):

1. AWS set up - with AWS you start off in sandbox mode. You need to register all of your destination email addresses in the SES console for anything to work. Click on the Email Addresses link to list your verified addresses and add more. Also, you will need to set up AWS IAM credentials to use with the gem. When you do this, make sure the user has the SES Full Access managed policy attached (on the IAM console).
2. :server setting - AWS operates in multiple regions but your SES account will be set up in one of them. To determine your region, go to the AWS console and click on SES. You will see your region in the URL - for me it is region=us-west-2. I recommend setting up an initializer as described in Dan Croak's excellent article. I did it just as Dan recommended, except that I set the delivery method to :amazon-ses and added a server configuration line.
3. Configuration - Dan's article (mentioned above) explains how to set delivery_method in your environment configuration file. Again, I used :amazon-ses.
4. Once you have AWS configured and your gem installed, you can test your setup in the rails console. Much easier to troubleshoot there than in your code base.
5. Somewhat unrelated, but I used the Dotenv gem to manage my environment settings. In a nutshell, once you install the gem, you can stick all of your environment settings in ~/.env and have access to them in ENV throughout your code.

/config/initializers/amazon-ses.rb

ActionMailer::Base.add_delivery_method :amazon_ses, AWS::SES::Base,
  :access_key_id      => ENV['AWS_SECRET_KEY_ID'],
  :secret_access_key  => ENV['AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'],
  :server             => 'email.us-west-2.amazonaws.com'

/config/environments/development.rb (excerpts):

# Configure mailer for development test
config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true

# Configure mail using AWS SES
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :amazon_ses

# Configure URL options
host = 'www.example.com'
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { host: host }

Of course, to make this work in production, you'll need to make these changes to /config/environments/production.rb. You'll also need to make your AWS secret settings on your production server. If you are using Heroku:

$ heroku config:add AWS_SECRET_KEY_ID=12345XYZ
$ heroku config:add AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=67890ABC
