Magento 2: Use Amazon SES

Fabian Blechschmidt

This only works on Magento 2.4+

You want to use Amazon AWS Simple Email Service to send your transaction mails? It took a moment, but maybe you want to safe the struggle, let me tell you, what to configure:

Go to Stores > Configuration > Advanced > System > Mail Sending Settings

ConfigurationValue
TransportSMTP
Hostemail-smtp.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com
Port587
Set Return-PathNo
UsernameSMTP username from SES
PasswordSMTP password from SES
AuthPLAIN
SSLSSL (TLS worked on 2.4.7 but doesn’t on 2.4.8)
Screenhost of the Magento settings with the above settings
"Disable Email Communications" and "Set Return-Path" is still on "Use system value"
