Aws php mail not getting sent

A common issue!

When using AWS SES (Simple Email Service) with PHP, there are a few common reasons why emails might not be getting sent. Let's go through some troubleshooting steps to help you resolve the issue:

  1. Check your SES configuration:
    • Make sure you have created an SES identity (e.g., an email address or a domain) and verified it.
    • Ensure that your SES account is configured to allow sending emails.
    • Check the SES dashboard for any errors or issues.
  2. Verify your PHP code:
    • Review your PHP code to ensure that it is correctly configured to use SES.
    • Check that you are using the correct AWS region and SES endpoint.
    • Verify that you are passing the correct credentials (e.g., access key ID and secret access key) to your PHP script.
  3. Check your email address:
    • Ensure that the email address you are trying to send to is valid and exists.
    • Check that the email address is not blocked by your SES account or by the recipient's email provider.
  4. Check your PHP error logs:
    • Review your PHP error logs to see if there are any errors or warnings related to the email sending process.
    • Check for any errors related to the AWS SDK or SES API.
  5. Check your SES logs:
    • Review your SES logs to see if there are any errors or issues related to the email sending process.
    • Check for any errors related to the email being blocked or rejected.
  6. Check your email client:
    • Try sending an email using a different email client or service to see if the issue is specific to your PHP script or a general issue with your email setup.
  7. Check your PHP version and AWS SDK:
    • Ensure that you are using a compatible version of PHP and the AWS SDK.
    • Check the AWS SDK documentation for any known issues or compatibility problems with your PHP version.
  8. Try sending a test email:
    • Use the AWS SES console to send a test email to verify that your SES account is working correctly.
    • Try sending an email using the AWS SDK in your PHP script to see if the issue is specific to your script or a general issue with your SES account.
