AWS SDK for Go code examples for Amazon SES

Purpose

These examples demonstrate how to perform several Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES) operations.

Prerequisites

You must have an AWS account, and have your default credentials and AWS Region configured as described in Configuring the AWS SDK for Go in the AWS SDK for Go Developer Guide.

Running the code

DeleteAddress/DeleteAddress.go

This example deletes an Amazon SES email address.

go run DeleteAddress -a ADDRESS

ADDRESS is the email address to delete.

The unit test mocks the service client and the DeleteVerifiedEmailAddress function.

GetStatistics/GetStatistics.go

This example retrieves statistics about Amazon SES send operations.

go run GetStatistics.go

The unit test mocks the service client and the GetSendStatistics function.

ListAddresses/ListAddresses.go

This example lists the verified SES email addresses.

go run ListAddresses.go

The unit test mocks the service client and the ListIdentities and GetIdentityVerificationAttributes functions.

SendMessage/SendMessage.go

This example sends an email message to a recipient.

go run SendMessage.go -f SENDER -t RECIPIENT [-s SUBJECT]

SENDER is the email address for the From field.
RECIPIENT is the email address for the recipient.
SUBJECT is the text for the Subject field. If this value is not supplied, it defaults to Amazon SES Test (AWS SDK for Go).

The unit test mocks the service client and the SendEmail function.

VerifyAddress/VerifyAddress.go

This example verifies an email address.

go run VerifyAddress -r RECIPIENT

RECIPIENT is the email address to verify.

The unit test mocks the service client and the VerifyEmailAddress function.

Notes

We recommend that you grant this code least privilege, or at most the minimum permissions required to perform the task. For more information, see Grant Least Privilege in the AWS Identity and Access Management User Guide.
This code has not been tested in all AWS Regions. Some AWS services are available only in specific Regions.
Running this code might result in charges to your AWS account.

Running the unit tests

Unit tests should delete any resources they create. However, they might result in charges to your AWS account.

To run a unit test, enter the following.

go test

You should see something like the following, where PATH is the path to the folder containing the Go files.

PASS
ok      PATH 6.593s

To see any log messages, enter the following.

go test -test.v

You should see additional log messages. The last two lines should be similar to the previous output shown.
