Hello. I'm planning to implement Amazon SES for sending registration and announcement emails in SMF 2.0.15.
However, since SMF don't have option to specify sender address (only SMTP username & password option) how is going to work?

A quick experience would be lovely to understand.
Thanks!

Amazon SES does have an SMTP interface, should work just fine. In theory. ( Just may want to change the forum administrator's e-mail to the same address as well. )

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I know that Amazon has SMTP interface. My only question is how can i specify the sender address in SMTP? As far as i understand from your reply, the administrator e-mail address is also the SMTP sender address then?

SMTP doesn't usually allow you to specify the address. The SMTP account used will use what ever it is configured for.

Yes, exactly... i have to figure out how to set Amazon SMTP user with email address... because there is no option. Ok then, thanks for your time. Time for Amazon support then.
