SendRawEmail (new) Link ¶

Sends an email message, with header and content specified by the client. The SendRawEmail action is useful for sending multipart MIME emails. The raw text of the message must comply with Internet email standards; otherwise, the message cannot be sent.

Warning

You can only send email from verified email addresses and domains. If you have not requested production access to Amazon SES, you must also verify every recipient email address except for the recipients provided by the Amazon SES mailbox simulator. For more information, go to the Amazon SES Developer Guide.

The total size of the message cannot exceed 10 MB. This includes any attachments that are part of the message.

Amazon SES has a limit on the total number of recipients per message: The combined number of To:, CC: and BCC: email addresses cannot exceed 50. If you need to send an email message to a larger audience, you can divide your recipient list into groups of 50 or fewer, and then call Amazon SES repeatedly to send the message to each group.

The To:, CC:, and BCC: headers in the raw message can contain a group list. Note that each recipient in a group list counts towards the 50-recipient limit.

For every message that you send, the total number of recipients (To:, CC: and BCC:) is counted against your sending quota - the maximum number of emails you can send in a 24-hour period. For information about your sending quota, go to the Amazon SES Developer Guide.

Request Syntax

client.send_raw_email(
    Source='string',
    Destinations=[
        'string',
    ],

        'Data': b'bytes'
    }
)
type Source

string

param Source

The identity's email address.

By default, the string must be 7-bit ASCII. If the text must contain any other characters, then you must use MIME encoded-word syntax (RFC 2047) instead of a literal string. MIME encoded-word syntax uses the following form: =?charset?encoding?encoded-text?= . For more information, see RFC 2047.

Note

If you specify the Source parameter and have feedback forwarding enabled, then bounces and complaints will be sent to this email address. This takes precedence over any Return-Path header that you might include in the raw text of the message.

type Destinations

list

param Destinations

A list of destinations for the message, consisting of To:, CC:, and BCC: addresses.

  • (string) --

type RawMessage

dict

param RawMessage

[REQUIRED]

  • Message must contain a header and a body, separated by a blank line.

  • All required header fields must be present.

  • Each part of a multipart MIME message must be formatted properly.

  • MIME content types must be among those supported by Amazon SES. For more information, go to the Amazon SES Developer Guide.

  • Content must be base64-encoded, if MIME requires it.

  • Data (bytes) -- [REQUIRED]

    The raw data of the message. The client must ensure that the message format complies with Internet email standards regarding email header fields, MIME types, MIME encoding, and base64 encoding (if necessary).

    The To:, CC:, and BCC: headers in the raw message can contain a group list.

    For more information, go to the Amazon SES Developer Guide.

          • DkimTokens (list) --

            A set of character strings that represent the domain's identity. Using these tokens, you will need to create DNS CNAME records that point to DKIM public keys hosted by Amazon SES. Amazon Web Services will eventually detect that you have updated your DNS records; this detection process may take up to 72 hours. Upon successful detection, Amazon SES will be able to DKIM-sign email originating from that domain. (This only applies to domain identities, not email address identities.)
