Error when sending email notifications via SES

(Note: I’m not using Apprise directly but via Ouroboros. It didn’t feel right to open a bug there so I’ve opened it here)

When email notifications are configured to use SES an error is thrown that prevents messages from being sent:

2019-01-30 13:25:54 : DEBUG : NotifyEmail : Securing connection with TLS...
2019-01-30 13:25:54 : DEBUG : NotifyEmail : Applying user credentials...
2019-01-30 13:25:55 : WARNING : NotifyEmail : A Connection error occured sending Email notification to email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com.
2019-01-30 13:25:55 : DEBUG : NotifyEmail : Socket Exception: (554, b"Transaction failed: Duplicate header 'Content-Type'.")

This may have been fixed by #33 but since I’m not using Apprise directly I haven’t had a chance to confirm it.

That was much simpler than I had expected. The problem was two-fold:

1. The manually set headers aren’t required
2. The subtype was incorrect - it should’ve been plain instead of text.

Fixed both issues in #42.

That makes sense! Thank you for doing all this debugging on your own.

Standing by what i wrote before, definitely try removing the two Content-Type lines I added on L355 and L359 of NotifyEmail.py and it will probably work!

Argh. I forgot to mention that, yes, removing both lines does make it work. The problem with doing that is that you may end up with the wrong content type (unless you want the default content-type of text/html).

I’m 99% sure I’ve solved this problem in other projects, though. I’ll dig around and find out how before submitting the pull request.

For the second part and your example email; first off, i’m glad you almost got it. But it is really complicated. The catch is the example.com part; AWS will involve somehow capturing 2 domains in the same URL and it will also require you to identify what location you’re in as i see reference to east and west servers. I wouldn’t want to just hardcode one. Templating might not be possible, but i’ll think on it. Maybe there is some way we can simplify that URL for you.

I’m totally fine with not having a template. Even if there was a template available, I’d probably stick to manually constructing the URL anyway.

Also, is there a reason you have the format set to text? or is that just because you were testing?

Yes. I hate HTML email 😄
