config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :ses
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'localhost:3000' }

• config/initializers/amazone_ses_config.rb for credentials (default set the ENV vars)

ActionMailer::Base.add_delivery_method :ses, AWS::SES::Base,
  :access_key_id     => ENV['AMAZON_ACCESS_KEY'],
  :secret_access_key => ENV['AMAZON_SECRET_KEY']

• Amazon SES will not send emails unless it is from an authorized "from", remember to set up the mailer_sender in config/initializers/clearance.rb

Clearance Overrides

• routes.rb
• config/initializers/admin_authentication.rb

A default admin user id has been provided as:

Change this after first time install!!
