Email with attachments using SES

[Domingo Aguilera]

I wonder if it's possible to send email with attachments with ses.

Sure, no problem:

Any example on how to do this with boto?

Domingo,

We send out emails from our instances via an arrangement with AWS
that predates SES. However, even if we were to start with SES,
I'd probably still choose SendRawEmail and build our content with
the email tools in the standard Python library.

You can develop your code by sending email attachments to your
gmail account, for example, before deploying on SES. Or even a
test smtp server on your local machine, e.g.:

python /usr/lib/python2.6/smtpd.py -n -c DebuggingServer localhost:8025

I've tried send_raw_email without success.

for example

from boto import connect_ses
c = connect_ses()
from turbomail.message import Message
m = Message( "sou...@acme.com", "desti...@acme.com", "test")
with open("README.txt", "rb") as fp:
m.attach( fp, "README.txt")
m.plain = "contents"
c.send_raw_email( "sou...@acme.com", str(m), "desti...@acme.com")

this gives an error like this ...

boto.exception.BotoServerError: BotoServerError: 400 Bad Request
<ErrorResponse xmlns="http://ses.amazonaws.com/doc/2010-12-01/">
<Error>
<Type>Sender</Type>
<Code>InvalidParameterValue</Code>
<Message>Nested group</Message>
</Error>
<RequestId>aae6d4ee-04e2-11e1-8a00-2bd94471c899</RequestId>
</ErrorResponse>

Is anybody really sending mails with attachments from ses using boto/
python?

[Mitchell Garnaat]

Hi -

You do need to use send_raw_email but you first have to create a properly formatted MIME Multipart payload to pass in to that method.  This:

http://docs.python.org/library/email-examples.html

has an example of constructing a MIME multipart message with the Python email module.

I've tried this using turbomail

https://gist.github.com/1340186

and always have the same error as output..

<ErrorResponse xmlns="http://ses.amazonaws.com/doc/2010-12-01/">
<Error>
<Type>Sender</Type>
<Code>InvalidParameterValue</Code>
<Message>Nested group</Message>
</Error>

</ErrorResponse>

This output is given with these fake addresses and with real ones.

It has always worked fine for me....

import email
import boto.exception
from boto.ses.connection import SESConnection
to = 'f...@example.com'
m = email.mime.multipart.MIMEMultipart()
m['Subject'] = 'Test'
m['From'] = to
m['To'] = to

#Message body
part = email.mime.text.MIMEText('test file attached')
m.attach(part)

#Attachment
part = email.mime.text.MIMEText('contents of test file here')
part.add_header('Content-Disposition', 'attachment; filename=test.txt')
m.attach(part)

line = open('amazon.key').readlines()
a = SESConnection(aws_access_key_id=line[0].strip(),aws_secret_access_key=line[1].strip())
r = a.send_raw_email(source=m['From'], raw_message=m.as_string(),
destinations=m['To'])
