Logging Amazon SES Message ID

Question

This might be a simple question but I've searched and searched and can't find an answer.

I'd like to log the message ID for each email sent so I can more accurately do bounce handling.

I'm using the AWS PHP SDK to send my emails. How can I get the message ID after I send an email?

Answer 1

Found the answer...

I'm able to retrieve the MessageID from the response object I get upon sending an email with SES.

$response->body->SendEmailResult->MessageId

Answer 2

Updated answer: sendEmail returns a Guzzle\Service\Resource\Model.

You can get the value of MessageId with $response->get('MessageId')
