    Currently I'm using Amazon SES, but I can not configure xenforo .
    I have to follow the instructions here "Amazon SES with Postfix" to use SMTP relay, but I always get an error when sending email through xenforo
    Check maillog
    Code:
    relay=email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com[107.20.142.169]:25, delay=2.1, delays=0/0/1.8/0.23, dsn=5.0.0, status=bounced (host email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com[107.20.142.169] said: 501 Invalid MAIL FROM address provided (in reply to MAIL FROM command))
    Although I check email on the command line, there was no error occurred
    Code:
    sendmail -f from@example.com to@example.com

From: from@example.com

Subject: Test

This email was sent through Amazon SES!

.

    @eva2000 I noticed eva2000 also use SES With forums, you can guide how to configure for xenforo ?

    Thank !

    For forums I don't use postfix relay, I use Xenforo SMTP email options and put Amazon SES SMTP server and username/password :)

    @eva2000 how you solved problem with Amazon ses and contact us form?
    Today I enable Amazon SES and I managed Xenforo to deliver mails through Amazon SMPT, but there is problem with contact us form (there are few threads on xenforo forum too), because mail will be generated in way that sender is user mail, and amazon ses reject that cause that mail is not verified.

    My temporary solution is created form for contact wich when submited send complete form on my e-mail

    Yep, those emails from contact form just arrived to my account, with 2 hours of delay. :confused:
    All other mails from and to forum arrive in minute.

    I don't see the appeal of SES anymore after learning that they're having problems with deliverability with hotmail and yahoo.

    If you look hard enough, pretty sure all transactional email providers will have problems with hotmail/yahoo just due to sheer number of servers and the way hotmail/yahoo use various spam lists i think. Haven't looked into whether sparkpost, sendgrid, mailgun etc have such issues though.

    Quick google-fu for sendgrid - the documentation is there as IP being on spam lists is a probability :)

    Hmm. XenForo doesn't implement the 'List-Unsubscribe' header. Might see what is required to implement this.

    Perhaps sometime around April :p

    All is OK now. Mails from Contact arriving in 10 seconds.
    My domain is verified and validated via DKIM and SPF records too. Btw, SPF is by default ona Amazon.
    Also, key was to disable sender info in from header option. But when use default Xenforo mail + Gmail, that option have to be enabled

    Only when you have default xenforo email settings and gmail for (redirected to) forum official mail, than you have to enable that option, because with disabled you come in situation that you reply to your self in gmail (send and recive (from and to) are same mail).

    I'm curious as to why you do this, George? Looks like it would be better to offload the SMTP workload to Postfix instead of tying up PHP with that.

    I just completed transitioning my Postfix relay from Mandrill to SES today and all seems well so far.

    A few reasons
    1. Don't need for server emails i.e. to root user going through Amazon SES
    2. Isolating Amazon SES emails just for forum specific notifications/emails
    3. Easier to scale and/or move forums or web apps to another server or web host without needing to reconfigure Postfix etc with short notice etc

    Going to leave this in here if anyone else ends up with the same problem, try using "SSL" instead of "TLS" when using Amazon SES, works for me!

    TLS + 587 port works fine for me in Xenforo :)
