Amazon SES provides regional SMTP endpoints such as email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com. Create SMTP credentials in the SES console (distinct from AWS access keys) and use port 587 with STARTTLS.
Your From address or domain must be verified in SES (or the account must be out of sandbox) or sends will fail after SMTP acceptance in some cases.
Recommended settings
- Use the endpoint for your AWS region
- SMTP username and password from SES → SMTP settings
- Port 587 + STARTTLS (or 465 + TLS)
