    update tools/emailnotify.sh add AWS SES smtp support in 123.09beta01

    - Update tools/emailnotify.sh to support AWS SES smtp server credential based email sending for more reliable email delivery. For prior info on how tools/emailnotify.sh worked read Beta Branch - add tools/emailnotify.sh in 123.09beta01
    - To switch tools/emailnotify.sh to use AWS SES smtp server, you need to have created an Amazon SES smtp credential username/password and obtained your Amazon SES smtp server name. You will need to populate the below variables within persistent config file at /etc/centminmod/custom_config.inc with the following - where EMAILNOTIFY_SES_FROM_EMAIL is your verified email address you setup in Amazon SES settings and EMAILNOTIFY_SES_TO_EMAIL is your desired email address you want tools/emailnotify.sh to send emails to. The EMAILNOTIFY_SES_SMTP_SERVER would be the one displayed to you when you configured your specific Amazon SES region smtp mail server i.e. email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com

    Code (Text):
    EMAILNOTIFY_SES='y'
    EMAILNOTIFY_SES_FROM_EMAIL='your_ses_verified_from_email_address'
    EMAILNOTIFY_SES_TO_EMAIL='your_desired_email_to_receive_server_emails'
    # CC and BCC options are optional. If not need, set and leave empty without a value
    EMAILNOTIFY_SES_CC_EMAIL='your_desired_cc_email_to_receive_server_emails'
    EMAILNOTIFY_SES_BCC_EMAIL='your_desired_bcc_email_to_receive_server_emails'
    EMAILNOTIFY_SES_SMTP_USERNAME='your_ses_smtp_username'
    EMAILNOTIFY_SES_SMTP_PASSWORD='your_ses_smtp_password'
    EMAILNOTIFY_SES_SMTP_SERVER='your_ses_smtp_server'
    EMAILNOTIFY_SES_SMTP_PORT='587'

    tools/emailnotify.sh eventual purpose is to be built into a tool which handles all Centmin Mod's email notification/alerts behind the scenes. Not everyone properly setups or wants to setup the properly main hostname DKIM, SPF, DMARC records outlined at Email - Steps to ensure your site/server email doesn't end up in spam inboxes or configure Postfix AWS SES relaying. So adding AWS SES support to tools/emailnotify.sh is a workaround as the underlying system uses openssl s_client to send the actual email - not touching Postfix MTA at all.

    Example with persistent config file set

    Code (Text):
    EMAILNOTIFY_SES='y'
    EMAILNOTIFY_SES_FROM_EMAIL='your_ses_verified_from_email_address'
    EMAILNOTIFY_SES_TO_EMAIL='your_desired_email_to_receive_server_emails'
    # CC and BCC options are optional. If not need, set and leave empty without a value
    EMAILNOTIFY_SES_CC_EMAIL=''
    EMAILNOTIFY_SES_BCC_EMAIL=''
    EMAILNOTIFY_SES_SMTP_USERNAME='your_ses_smtp_username'
    EMAILNOTIFY_SES_SMTP_PASSWORD='your_ses_smtp_password'
    EMAILNOTIFY_SES_SMTP_SERVER='email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com'
    EMAILNOTIFY_SES_SMTP_PORT='587'

    Usage
    Code (Text):
    /usr/local/src/centminmod/tools/emailnotify.sh
    Usage:
    /usr/local/src/centminmod/tools/emailnotify.sh send emailbody emailsubject
    

    Run tools/emailnotify.sh send command with onewordbody and asubject. The body and subject can take only one word by default without spaces.

    So a onewordbody with asubject would be:
    Code (Text):
    /usr/local/src/centminmod/tools/emailnotify.sh send onewordbody asubject
    ----------------------------------------------------
    Send email via SES using openssl client
    Success email send will end with line:
    451 4.4.2 Timeout waiting for data from client
    and return to command prompt after 10 seconds
    ----------------------------------------------------

    Protocol version: TLSv1.2

    Hash used: SHA512

    250 Ok
    250-email-smtp.amazonaws.com

    451 4.4.2 Timeout waiting for data from client.
    

    after 250 ending code, there will be a 10 second wait time until openssl closes the SMTP connection with a 451 4.4.2 Timeout waiting for data from client message.

    Email you receive will look something like

    The first example above isn't that useful for oneword body responses without spaces. So tools/emailnotify.sh supports sending the contents of a file as the body of the message.

    Example if you want to send your cminfo sar-json output to yourself you can save the cminfo sar-json output to a text file i.e. /tmp/sar-json.log
    Code (Text):
    cminfo sar-json > /tmp/sar-json.log
    

    Code (Text):
    /usr/local/src/centminmod/tools/emailnotify.sh send /tmp/sar-json.log sar-json
    

    Code (Text):
    /usr/local/src/centminmod/tools/emailnotify.sh send /tmp/sar-json.log sar-json
    ----------------------------------------------------

    And email would look like

    ses-emailnotify.sh-gmail-inbox-03.png
    And body contents would look like ses-emailnotify.sh-gmail-inbox-04.png
    where the contents would be what's contained in /tmp/sar-json.log text file.

      ]
    }
    


    Then if you've setup Amazon AWS SES Cloudwatch dashboard to monitor your AWS SES reputation for bounce and complaint rates (example here), you should be able to ensure more reliable delivery of your server related email notifications etc.

    FYI, you can actually use body and subject with spaces if you wrap them in double quotes i.e.

    Code (Text):
    /usr/local/src/centminmod/tools/emailnotify.sh send /tmp/sar-json.log "sar-json log info"
    

    or
    Code (Text):
    /usr/local/src/centminmod/tools/emailnotify.sh send "body contents" "subject title"

    Another example send php -v command output via AWS SES

    Not too sure of when UTC reported times are for your timezone ? You can add Centmin Mod mytimes command out to your email body too
    Code (Text):
    /usr/local/src/centminmod/tools/emailnotify.sh send "$(php -v; mytimes)" "php version"
    

    ses-emailnotify.sh-gmail-inbox-07.png

    You could do same for most commands instead of saving in an intermediate file too by wrapping commands in "$(your commands)" for the body argument
    Code (Text):
    /usr/local/src/centminmod/tools/emailnotify.sh send "$(cminfo sar-json)" "cminfo sar-json"
    
    /usr/local/src/centminmod/tools/emailnotify.sh send "$(cminfo top)" "cminfo top"
    
    /usr/local/src/centminmod/tools/emailnotify.sh send "$(cminfo sar-cpu)" "cminfo sar-cpu"
    
    /usr/local/src/centminmod/tools/emailnotify.sh send "$(cminfo sar-mem)" "cminfo sar-mem"
    

    or list the last 5 nginx_upgrade logs and send the listing to your AWS SES defined to email address
    Code (Text):
    /usr/local/src/centminmod/tools/emailnotify.sh send "$(cminfo listlogs | grep nginx_upgrade | tail -5)" "last 5 nginx upgrade logs"
    

    your email body would of the output from the command
    Code (Text):
    cminfo listlogs | grep nginx_upgrade | tail -5
    -rw-r--r--  1 root root 1.9M Aug 12 05:53 centminmod_123.09beta01.b557_120820-055103_nginx_upgrade.log

    Most recent update to tools/emailnotify.sh now allows you to pass an optional 3rd argument for a custom to email address overriding the default to email address Beta Branch - update tools/emailnotify.sh in 123.09beta01

    example
    Code (Text):
    cd /usr/local/src/centminmod/tools
    ./emailnotify.sh send "$(cminfo sar-json)" "cminfo sar-json" your-to-email@domain.com
