#AWS EMAIL SERVER RECORD MAC#
Being a Mac user, I’ve been using Mac Mail. If you’re like me, you would probably would want to configure your desktop email client for your AWS hosted email account.
A couple exchanges with the experts on the developer forums guided me out of that issue.Īfter you have email running smoothly from the WorkMail Web Console, (Below is a pretty little screenshot of how the console looks): So I had an issue with receiving email in WorkMail, even though I was able to send email out. I created incoming mail rules that would put all incoming mail into an S3 bucket. The troubleshooting I had to go through was because I tried to set things up using SES first. If you set up your own domain in WorkMail, choose that for the email address.
I use Amazon Route53, so I just copied the DNS records directly into my Route53. Verify your domain on the next screen by entering the DNS records into your DNS hosting provider.If you have your own domain, click on domains on the left and add your domain.The organization should be created in a couple minutes. choose Quick Setup then enter any Organization Name. After logging into the AWS console, go to the WorkMail service from the main screen.I already host a domain name in AWS using Route53, so I used my own domain name for WorkMail. But after discussion on the AWS developer forums, I learned that an email can be set up very quickly in Workmail, even without having your own domain name.
Setting up Workmail was trickier for me, because I was playing around with SES at first, which kind of screwed up my Workmail settings. The easiest and most straightforward option if you want a purely AWS email solution, is to go with Amazon Workmail. I did some experimentation, and I still haven’t been completely successful, although now after finishing setting up Workmail, I could probably do it through SES as well. It’s not impossible, but it requires a bit of reading and learning about about how SES functions. Long story short, it is a little tricky to set up both sending and receiving in SES, for personal use. I thought that would be the correct solution for me, since it says “Simple Email” and it can be simple, except that it’s not quite as simple as you might think, at least for the beginner like myself. I started off with Amazon SES, which stands for “Simple Email Service.’ I’ll discuss using Amazon Workmail here, as that is what I finished setting up today.
This again is great because it gives us a chance to actually UNDERSTAND how things work. The thing I love about AWS, is that everything is manual. WIth most other web hosting providers, like ( Hostgator, iPage, Bluehost, 1&1) they provide complete packages, giving you the option to host a wordpress blog and give you a hosted email address.Īfter I figured out Web Hosting in AWS, the question was, how do I set up email hosting in AWS? I’ll go into details in another post, but briefly, I set up an EC2 instance with a WordPress AMI, then I set up the domain using Amazon Route 53. My first AWS project was to host this blog entirely in AWS. It gives me a chance learn more about AWS, and get hands on exposure to the platform. In learning Amazon Web Services, I’m trying to do everything I can on the AWS platform.
