Laravel won't send through AWS SES SMTP

Question

I'm running Laravel 5.4.24 and I can't get it to send through Amazon SES SMTP.

However when I download SwiftMailer and run it standalone I can.

Working..

require("vendor/autoload.php"); // Create the Transport $transport = new Swift_SmtpTransport('email-smtp.us-west-2.amazonaws.com', 587, 'tls'); $transport->setUsername('A**************A'); $transport->setPassword('A****************************m'); // Create the Mailer using your created Transport $mailer = new Swift_Mailer($transport); // Create a message $message = new Swift_Message('Wonderful Subject'); $message->setFrom(['noreply@su*****th.com' => 'John Doe']); $message->setTo(['j*******@gmail.com' => 'Jamie']); $message->setBody('Here is the message itself'); // Send the message $result = $mailer->send($message);

Laravel setup thats not working

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp MAIL_HOST=email-smtp.us-west-2.amazonaws.com MAIL_PORT=587 MAIL_USERNAME=A****************A MAIL_PASSWORD=A************************m MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls

Even though the credentials are identical I get

Expected response code 250 but got code "530", with message "530 Authentication required

I've tried

php artisan queue:restart php artisan config:cache

This is how I'm using Mail in code

Mail::send('emails.verify', $data, function($message) use ($data) { $message->from('noreply@su*****h.com', "Jamie - ****"); $message->subject("Please verify your email address"); $message->to($data['email']); });

But with no luck.

Any ideas?

I've had problems using .env before, try putting configs directly in config/mail.php — Sérgio Reis

Are you sure you are using the SES SMTP username and password and not the account access and secret? — Rob Fonseca

Yep. Works in swiftmailer standalone but not in laravel, had a few other people check credentials. All looks fine. Odd. — Mr J

The SES keys and Region are configured in the config/services.php file.

So for me the issue was that even though I already had my default region set to us-west-2 in my other AWS configs SES uses its own config in the Services file which was set directly to 'us-east-1' and not using the existing AWS keys in my .env file.
