Message created (SingleTo) not putting recipient in To: header

[danwood]

See https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?messageID=262802&#262802 for a full background of the problem.

Essentially it seems like the 'SingleTo' field is not what I would expect it to be. When I create a message and send it (with SingleTo being on by default, the message header does not include the To: header. It seems like it ought to. And when I try forcing it off (maybe it does the opposite of what I expect it to?) then the message won't get sent at all.

Any ideas? Is this a bug, or am I misunderstanding things? How do I get a message sent via SES to include the To: header so that it properly shows up for the recipient?

Hi Dan,

I'm not sure about the issue you're having with SingleTo, but here is how I am using the code successfully:

<?php
        $mailer = new AmazonSESMailer(AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_KEY);
        $mailer->SetFrom($from);
        $mailer->AddAddress($to);
        $mailer->Subject = $subject;
        $mailer->AltBody = $text;
        $mailer->MsgHTML($html);
        $mailer->Send();
?>

This results in emails with the following headers

Date: Sun, 24 Jul 2011 16:53:48 +0000
From: geonotes@geoloqi.com
Subject: You picked up a Geonote!
To: aaron@parecki.com

Hope this helps!

Weird ... OK, I dug some more and it appears that if I call your steps, the resulting email has a "To:" header in it. However, my messages (which don't follow quite the same code path) don't.

If I call CreateHeader() and print out the header right before sending it, the To: is missing. So it's really hard to diagnose. What's the logic for actually getting the To: header put onto the final header when the message is sent?

@danwood, SingleTo serves another purpose:

/**
 * Provides the ability to have the TO field process individual
 * emails, instead of sending to entire TO addresses
 * @var bool
 */
 public $SingleTo      = true;

As @aaronpk suggested, AddAddress() is the way to go: Adds a "To" address.

I'm also experiencing this issue. As the linked forum page discusses, the 'Deliver-To' is being set, but 'To:' is not being set in the headers. This results in '(Undisclosed Recipients)' being in the To field of most email clients.

Setting $singleTo = false seems to not be supported at the moment either?

$mail = new AmazonSESMailer(SES_ID,SES_KEY);
$mail->SetFrom('info@domain.com','FromName');
$mail->AddAddress($to);
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->Body = $body;
return (bool)$mail->Send();

I had the same problem. I solved it by editing AmazonSESMailer.php:55 from:

                'Data' => base64_encode($header . "\n" . $body)

to

                'Data' => base64_encode('To: '.$val."\n".$header . "\n" . $body)

thanks @kalleboo your idea worked.
