Email configuration to Amazon SES with Meteor on Heroku

Raw

meteor-ses-heorku.md

Follow instructions below to get meteor emails sending correctly from heroku using amazon ses

set up smtp access via aws console, get your smtp credentials
using a javascript console (chrome dev tools / firebug) run

encodeURIComponent("SES_SMTP_USERNAME")

encodeURIComponent("SES_SMTP_PASSWORD")

to encode the username/password for use in your smtp url

take resulting strings to build your smtp url like so

smtp://ENCODED_USER:ENCODED_PASS@SES_SMTP_URL:465

set the MAIL_URL variable to tell meteor to use this method for sending emails

heroku config:add MAIL_URL=YOUR_SMTP_URL

(do not surrond the url with qoutes)

set sender to be a SES verified sender within your meteor app via

Accounts.emailTemplates.from = "SENDER_NAME <SENDER_EMAIL>";

That will allow Meteor default email methods to function properly.
