Thanks for providing this great module!

I've taken it a step or 2 further, and have added the option to send raw emails (MIME formatted) so that images and attachments can now be added inline using mimemail.

I've also added an option for DKIM signing to improve deliverability and reduce the chances of your message being flagged as spam.

These options are available via the attached patch file for 6.x-1.0 I was initially going to create a separate add-on module, but figured that it would make more sense to try to keep these edits as part of the main project, assuming the maintainer is okay with including them.

Suggestions / bug reports most welcome.

Details on how to install:

In order to enable sending RAW MIME-encoded messages, you will need to have the mimemail module installed and configured.

http://drupal.org/project/mimemail

IMPORTANT:
There are several bugs in the current version of mimemail which may cause issues when used with Amazon SES.
You may need to include the following patches if they have not yet been integrated into mimemail:

http://drupal.org/node/1270656
http://drupal.org/node/1270686

DKIM support:

DKIM allows you to cryptographically sign your emails to increase deliverabilty and reduce the chances of your messages being marked as spam.

To enable DKIM support with Amazon SES, you must download the php-mail-domain-signer package:
http://code.google.com/p/php-mail-domain-signer

Place the lib folder within the amazon_ses directory.

Visit the amazon_ses configuration page in order to set up the details necessary for using DKIM, including entering your private key, which you will need to generate separately.
You will also need to correctly configure your DNS records.

For additional information, please see:

gmania, thanks for writing this up. I'm going to try to integrate it into a site in the next few days. I set up DKIM recently for the domain and sendmail/postfix, but not yet through SES (which we're actually using to send mail).

In limited testing on my development site so far, this seems to work well.
The note about the required patches is no longer necessary, as they've both been committed.

Thank you for making this work!!

Patch applies cleanly and once the extra fields are configured DKIM emails can be sent.

The following include statement produces a PHP error.

The error is:

Attached is a reviewed version of the patch where require_once() is used instead
