Email

If your app needs to send transactional emails, there is a right way to do so via our Yandex Cloud Postbox account. It supports both AWS SES and SMTP APIs.

If you're unsure about any step, remember that you can always ask a RØ member for help.

Acquire access to Yandex Cloud

Ask RØ to provide you with access to the Yandex Cloud Console.

Create a Service Account (SA)

  1. Open the “Service Accounts” tab for the “production” folder in IAM.

  2. Click on the “Create service account” button near the top-right corner.

  3. Provide a meaningful name and description for your SA.

  4. Assign a postbox.sender role.

  5. Click on “Create”.

Issue an API Key

  1. Select your shiny new SA.

  2. Click on “Create new key” near the top-right corner.

  3. Select “Create API key”.

  4. Provide a description, then click “Create”.

  5. Copy Secret Key.

Sending emails

From this point, you may follow the official Postbox documentation.

SMTP

Host: postbox.cloud.yandex.net
Port: 587
Use TLS: Yes
User: API_KEY
Password: secret-key-you-generated-before

Sender details

For the sake of convenience, we strongly advise you to follow this convention:

  • From: BKSP {Your service name} <no-reply@bksp.in>

  • Reply-to: B4CKSP4CE Team <info@bksp.in>

If you’d like to use a From address other than no-reply@bksp.in it's important to consult with the Infrastructure or RØ team first to avoid possible collisions.
