Using Print2Email with Amazon SES

 

Amazon SES requires explicit account holder approval for third-party applications, like Print2Email, to access email accounts. Amazon SES has stricter restrictions than Yahoo or Gmail. See the instructions at the bottom of this page for how to obtain approval and use Print2Email with Amazon SES.

 

To configure the Print2Email Server to use an Amazon SES SMTP Server for sending emails, go to Print2Email > Email Providers tab > Select the Custom SMTP email Server option and uncheck Ask for the provider every time when sending an email checkbox.

 

 

Please enter the Amazon SES SMTP Server properties and the email account:

 

 

If Display email sent successfully message is enabled, Print2Email will show a confirmation message after an email is sent.

 

If Display email sending error messages is enabled, any SMTP-related errors are shown when an email fails to send.

NOTE: The entered email address needs to be verified before one can send an email from it. For more information about verifying email addresses and domains, see Verifying Email Addresses and Domains in Amazon SES.

 

 

Authentication

 

Select the Use the following account settings option in the Authentication dropdown, and provide the Account Name and Password.

 

NOTE: Use the SMTP user name, not the AWS access key ID. The SMTP credentials and the AWS credentials are not the same. For information about how to obtain SMTP credentials, see Obtaining Your Amazon SES SMTP Credentials.

 

 

Under Authentication settings Print2Email users can also set how recipients will see the message in their email clients (for example, Outlook). The following options are available:

 

·         Display name field does not need to be a valid email address. Display name can be any text or name of the individual or the company.

 

·         Priority defines the importance of the email message. If the email is important, one can configure High priority for the email, and the email will be displayed as important email for the recipient.

 

 

When finished, click on the Apply button to save the changes. From now on, every document printed to the Print2Email printer driver will be opened in the Print2Email Email Sender to let users send the printed documents in email quickly and easily using the Amazon SES SMTP Server settings.

 

 

NOTE: Please be aware, that when sending an email using Amazon SES, the recipient email addresses also have to be verified in Amazon SES. For more information about how to verify email addresses, please refer to the following link: Verifying Email Addresses and Domains in Amazon SES.
