DAP’s Amazon SES integration has been heavily tested, and we use it ourselves at DigitalAccessPass.com . So you can rest assured that there are no “bugs” of any kind.<\/p>\n

Here are some troubleshooting steps if SES integration is not working even after you’ve followed the documentation<\/a> exactly.<\/p>\n

Troubleshooting SES<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. MOST COMMON MISTAKE<\/strong>: Have you whitelisted the DAP “From” email in Amazon? And have you used exact same “case” for the email id in both places (DAP and Amazon)? Double-check spelling and case in both DAP and Amazon – they must be EXACTLY the same. For eg., you@yoursite.com is NOT the same as You@YourSite.com<\/strong> as far as Amazon is concerned. So if you’ve set the “From Email” in DAP to be you@yoursite.com<\/strong>, then you must whitelist exactly the same email id you@yoursite.com<\/strong> within your Amazon SES account as well. If you are not sure, delete the whitelisted email in your SES account, then COPY the from-email from DAP config (be sure to copy, and not re-type) and then PASTE the exact from-email into your Amazon SES account and whitelist it again.<\/li>\n
  2. IMPORTANT:<\/strong> Have you requested Amazon for “Production Access” to your SES account? Being in “Sandbox” mode has its disadvantages (you can only send “from” and “to” whitelisted” emails ONLY). So your account MUST, MUST, MUST<\/strong> be in “Production” mode before Amazon SES lets you send emails to your customers.<\/li>\n
  3. Are you using the exact ports as mentioned in our documentation? Ignore the port #s that Amazon recommends.<\/li>\n
  4. IMPORTANT<\/strong>: Double-check with your web host to make sure that they actually allow a plugin like DAP to connect to a third-party server like Amazon SES to send out emails. Some hosts don’t even allow that to begin with (like BlueHost, for eg.)<\/li>\n
  5. Turn on the logs by setting DAP > Setup > Config > Log Level to “Log All Activity”.<\/li>\n
  6. Then go to System > Logs and clear the logs. Then go to one of your test accounts, and edit the user.<\/li>\n
  7. On the “User Edit” page, click on “Resend Login\/Password”.<\/li>\n
  8. Check the email inbox to see if you got the email. If you didn’t, go to System > Logs and take the entire logs shown there, and paste it into a support ticket, and don’t forget to give us your WP login info and FTP info (and if possible, Amazon login info as well), and we’ll troubleshoot it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
