I guess I can try to set up SMTP with a localhost restriction on the<br>
AWS instance...<br></blockquote><div><br><br></div></div>That's likely the safest bet, in which you would configure a local mail server like postfix, sendmail, exim, etc. to accept localhost connections w/o credentials and to act as an SMTP relay to an external SMTP server. That way the SMTP credentials are stored with the mail server configs, out of reach from the web server, vs a PHP config file that sits on the web server. Amazon has a pretty easy guide to setting this up for a local mailserver to forward to the Amason SES SMTP server: <a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/send-using-smtp-integrate.html">http://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/send-using-smtp-integrate.html</a>. In this case, you would configure CDash to use localhost w/ no credentials for the SMTP server and then configure postfix (or other) to relay to the amazon SMTP servers with the necessary credentials. <br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">- Chuck<br></div></div>
