Sending Email with Amazon SES SMTP and PHPMailer

We use Amazon SES to send email from some of our clients' web applications. Recently, we developed a web application for a company who wanted to host the app on their own server. In this case Amazon SES SMTP provides a security (and possibly performance) advantage over the PHP SDK we were using. The code below is an example of how to send email using PHPMailer & Amazon SES SMTP.

<?php

//include phpmailer
require_once('class.phpmailer.php');

//SMTP Settings
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->SMTPAuth   = true;
$mail->SMTPSecure = "tls";
$mail->Host       = "email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com";
$mail->Username   = "SMTP-Username";
$mail->Password   = "SMTP-Password";
//

$mail->SetFrom('verified@address.com', 'Sender Name'); //from (verified email address)
$mail->Subject = "Email Subject"; //subject

//message
$body = "This is a test message.";
$body = eregi_replace("[]",'',$body);
$mail->MsgHTML($body);
//

//recipient
$mail->AddAddress("contact@recipient.com", "Test Recipient");

//Success
if ($mail->Send()) {
    echo "Message sent!"; die;
}

//Error
if(!$mail->Send()) {
    echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
}

?>
