Hi there,
I've successfully installed and configured Sendy to use Amazon SES, using your easy-to-follow instructions.
One thing that I've not yet come across in either your or Amazon's instructions is setting up the MX records and any associated email accounts.
Q1: What should my 'sending domain' MX record be set to?
Q2: Do I need to setup any email accounts for the email address that I'm sending from?
To put this in some context:
An application that I currently use, says to setup an account for the 'From address' and bounce@ is piped to the application's unsubscribe script. I've not seen anything similar in Sendy... some people don't unsubscribe using an unsubscribe link, instead reply to the email and include 'Unsubscribe' or 'Remove me from your mailing list' in the body of the email. As the email list owner you have to process these type of unsubscribes manually.
Your help is most most appreciated.
Many thanks, Charles
