I'm trying to use Amazon's new SMTP service for SES with Django 1.3.1 but I'm not having much luck. I've created my SES SMTP credentials and have this in my settings: EMAIL_USE_TLS = True EMAIL_HOST = 'email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com' EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'my-smtp-user' EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'my-smtp-password' EMAIL_PORT = 465 Then I try sending a test email (from and to verified email addresses):
