php-swiftmailerHow to use Swiftmailer with Amazon SES?

Swiftmailer is a popular PHP library for sending emails. It can be used with Amazon SES (Simple Email Service) to send emails from your application.

To use Swiftmailer with Amazon SES, you need to configure the transport layer of Swiftmailer to use Amazon SES. This can be done by setting the transport option to AmazonSesTransport and providing the necessary credentials.

// Create the Transport
$transport = (new Swift_SmtpTransport('email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com', 587, 'tls'))
  ->setUsername('YOUR_AMAZON_SES_USERNAME')
  ->setPassword('YOUR_AMAZON_SES_PASSWORD');

// Create the Mailer using your created Transport
$mailer = new Swift_Mailer($transport);

// Send the message
$result = $mailer->send($message);

// Print the result
echo $result;
