As of summer 2020, we will be using Amazon’s Simple Email Server to send outgoing emails from the Digital Collections.
The IAM identity we use to send email is:
ses-smtp-user.20200807-125501.
Ansible settings
The credentials, stored in group_vars/vault, are named respectively:
smtp_username
smtp_password
Another variable, smtp_host, is stored in group_vars/kithe_staging. Its value is email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com .
See local_env.yml.jw to see these settings pulled into the digital collections local_env.yml settings file.
