Offload SES Using wrong Endpoint

  • I created my SES account, verified my domain, got my credentials, and set everything properly in my wp-config.php. I constantly get an error stating that the credentials are incorrect. I tested the credentials on https://www.smtper.net/ and they work if you are using the correct SMTP endpoint,
    email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com.

    When trying to send a test email, the error message I get shows that Offload SES is not using this endpoint, but rather email.us-east-1.amazonses.com. I tried manually setting this in my wp-config with this line:
    // AWS SES Endpoint
    define(‘WP_SES_ENDPOINT’, ’email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com’);

    But still the error persists using the wrong endpoint.

    I don’t see anywhere in the GUI where you can set this.

    Is there any way to manually set the endpoint? Did I use the wrong define in my wp-config?

  • Hi,

    On the ‘Setting’ tab, under ‘General’ have you chose the correct AWS “region’ where your SES is configured, and have you set your AWS suitable access key and secret under the ‘AWS Access Keys’ option on the far right?
