Would it be possible to cover the new code with tests ?

Hi @jrfnl. I'm not sure how to test this without an AWS account and without AWS SDK libraries installed. Also, I don't know how to warn anyone who wants to use this feature that they must have AWS SDK v3 installed.

While I can see that you've put a lot of effort in here (thank you for that), I'm not too keen on merging this. AWS SES is a proprietary thing, but it accepts a fully-formed RFC822 message, which you can get out of PHPMailer via getSentMIMEMessage(), so you could use PHPMailer to create the message, then hand it over to an entirely separate "companion" class that deals with AWS auth and submission over HTTP, all without having to alter the core classes at all.

Hi @Synchro. Using getSentMIMEMessage() was my first aproach, but it requieres some extra adjustments to use PHPMailer with this, and this way the "bcc" headers are ignored because "preSend" doesn't include them on MIME. Finally I had to made those changes to be more friendly to people who are already using PHPMailer. Now you're only to mark as "$mail->useSes()" and it works same way than all others.

BCC addresses should never be in headers? Even then, you could easily insert an extra header via your own wrapper after fetching the built message. I still think there is too much going on in here for a single proprietary option and it would be better implemented in a subclass, where you would not even have to call useSes.

Put it like this, if I was using SES, this is how I would implement it anyway.
