[quote author="c77m" date="1322852781"]I needed the same and couldn't find anything ready to use. So I hacked up Mailchimps PHP wrapper for the 1.3 API and created a CodeIgniter library for the STS API.

https://github.com/mikeschutz/CodeIgniter-Mailchimp-STS

I've done limited testing, and contributions/feedback would be appreciated to improve it for other users.[/quote]

Is there any improvement done for this? i checked github but there are not only the basic tests, nothing more.. any extra code for adding more mails to sent to , keeping statistics etc?

I haven't added anything to this that isn't on GitHub, but the API hasn't changed either, so you have full functionality through what's there. I think the sample library walks through everything the API can do.

Documentation is lacking, but it'd be good to refer to the API documentation (http://apidocs.mailchimp.com/sts/1.0/) where things aren't clear. E.g.: to send to multiple email addresses, pass the addresses as an array (up to 50 addresses) when calling sendMail().

The library and API can pull statistics for you (last example in the sample controller), but it's up to you to figure out how to store them or what to do with them.

Also note that since this was written, SES now supports sending via SMTP. I prefer the API due to my familiarity with it, but if you just want an easy way to send via SES you can just configure CI to send via SES SMTP. (http://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-ne...with-smtp/)

I did some samples and I figured out that it doesn't really worth to use mailchimp API for amazon ses usage because sts reports are not as good as mailchimps campaigns are.. I ll try find a more simple way to use amazon ses, probably maybe smtp. Is there any application for mails and newsletter in CI with GUI set, that I can just install and integrate it with amazon t sent my newsletters?
