Laravel amazon ses gives Swift_TransportException

So i have followed the guide on how to set up a mail with laravel and amazon simple mail service

in my mail.php

 'driver' => env('ses', 'smtp'), 

and this is my mail class:

namespace App\Mail; use App\rental_request; use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable; use Illuminate\Mail\Mailable; use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels; use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue; class AccountDetails extends Mailable { use Queueable, SerializesModels; protected $user; /** * Create a new message instance. * * @return void */ public function __construct($user) { $this->user = $user; } /** * Build the message. * * @return $this */ public function build() { return $this->view('mail.accountdetails') ->with([ 'password' => $this->user->password, 'name' => $this->user->username, ]); } } 

When I attempt to send a mail I get the following:

Can anyone tell me what I'm missing?

My mail.php:
