baturorkun / aws-ses-sender Goto Github PK

I was unable to get the script to work as-is and needed to make the following changes on macOS Big Sur:

Line 50: ATTACHMENT=base64 -i $ATTACHMENT needs to change to: ATTACHMENT=base64 -e $ATTACHMENT (note the replacement of the -i with -e ... it also works if you omit -e completely)

Line 65: add another line: sed -i -e "s/$(printf '\r')//g" $TMPFILE (the script as written adds extra CR characters which make the JSON illegal). This removes those extra CRs.

Line 66: aws ses send-raw-email --raw-message file://$TMPFILE needs to change to: aws ses send-raw-email --cli-binary-format raw-in-base64-out --raw-message file://$TMPFILE

Even after fixing these issues, this script still won't work with large attachments because sed simply can't deal with them. Refer: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/546906/sed-command-giving-argument-list-too-long-error

I liked the look of this and tried to use it to send a spreadsheet, I encountered the error: /usr/bin/sed: Argument list too long when trying to do that. The spreadsheet is 200KB

I was trying to execute the following command:

sh ses_emailer.sh --subject "This is a sample email from pigeon server" --from "[email protected]" --receiver "[email protected]" --body "ses says hi" --attachment /var/www/sites/error_20200302.txt

Hence receiving the error sed: -e expression #1, char 91: unterminated s' commandonce I am adding--attachment /var/www/sites/error_20200302.txt`

I tested your script on both OSX and on AWS EC2 node (AWS Linux image)

I get Missing From in both cases.

/usr/local/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin/base64

An error occurred (InvalidParameterValue) when calling the SendRawEmail operation: Missing required header 'From'.```
