Error: Amazon SES email address is not verified

What's Causing This Error?

This error occurs if you try to send emails using an unverified identity in the region specified.

Additionally, this error occurs when sending emails in the sandbox environment using unverified sender and recipient email identities.

Solution - Here's How To Resolve It

You may try the following to resolve the error.

1. Verify the region

Verify that you are connected to SES in the region where all your verified identities are located.

2. Confirm identity verification

Confirm that the sender's identity has been verified. If you are using the sandbox environment, confirm the verification status of the recipient identities as well.

To do so, visit the SES Console and navigate to your verified identities. The status of the identities should be marked as "Verified" as shown below.
