Amazon SES doesn't send mail
-
Hi guys, Im trying to use Amazon SES for my email provider. I got amazon ses and aproved this for production.
When i test https://smtpserver.com/smtptest here, im getting email, so everything is working as i expected.
But when i try to use my credentials in my forum in production, i couldn't get email. I tried to send test email, i tried to trigger to send email by clicking forgot password etc.
Nah!, it didn't work. Im sharing my screenshots.And also one more question, i don't have to much context about amazon ses, i created account for my domain and it worked. But there are many options for ses in mail options in nodebb as ses-us, ses-ap etc. my region is eu-central in amazon and i couldnt see in options in nodebb. i thought if i select custom and fill my credentials as the same in test site, it must work. maybe it can related with this, idk. I need to other eyes to figure out.
Thanks in advance!
Best regards -

Just to mention, I think Amazon SES blocks sending on port 25 by default. They advise you to use 587 and StartTLS instead. If you have to use port 25 you are required to submit a request for them to allow it for you.
I ran into that on helping a Xenforo admin that was wanting to use SES and was insistent that port 25 was what they wanted to use for some unknown reason.
