Problem with Amazon AWS/SES

    I’m moving all site email to Amazon SES (Simple Email Service) and have run into a problem with Defender. SES requires that all sending emails be validated, which required clicking a link in an email sent to the address by AWS. The problem is that Defender sets the sending address for notifications to ‘noreply@{PHP_URL_HOST}, which in my case results in ‘[email protected]’. But I do not have any way to create that email address in my domain, so I can’t receive and respond to the verification email.

    The only short-term solution I can see is to modify the Defender code to set a proper email address. Long-term, I think that Defender should provide a setting to specify the sending address for notifications.

    If you have any other ideas on how to address this issue without modifying the Defender code, please let me know.

    Never mind… I realized that after the noreply address is set, a ‘wd_confirm_noreply_email’ is called that allows it to be set to another address. I set up a mini-plugin to add the filters and call a routine to set an address that’s verified in AWS.

    So long, and thanks for all the filters!
