SMTP isn't working with Amazon SES

[BobHill74 (200Tigersbloxed)]

So when I enter in my SMTP server for discourse and all the info. I go to register, and the email won’t send I’ve used multiple platforms but I can’t seem to get it working. Could someone please help me? Thank you! EDIT: Sorry didn’t mean to put with Gmail!

Using gmail as your SMTP server for Discourse is a bad idea:

Can I use gmail smtp?

Doing so is against Google’s terms of service, and you will very quickly run into rate limits. Set up one of the recommended providers instead: https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-email.md

I didn’t use google for my SMTP, I have my own domain setup with email. Also I used those 2 providers on there, didn’t work.

So what happened was I’m in sandbox mode, so all I needed to do was verify my email, thank you for your support though!
