Cannot send the confirmation email using the data you provided.

Hello,

I have a similar issue as this one: https://forum.mailwizz.com/threads/...-send-the-confirmation-email.5712/#post-36841
Unfortunately, no solution is provided.

The user has full access ses and sns



When I'm trying to validate the server using ses api, I get the message in the title followed by this:

• Here is a transcript of the error message:
• Error executing "SetIdentityFeedbackForwardingEnabled" on "https://email.us-east-1.amazonaws.com"; AWS HTTP error: Client error: `POST https://email.us-east-1.amazonaws.com` resulted in a `403 Forbidden` response:

Ayy idea what am I doing wrong? Thank you

@MarioG - Make sure your server uses NTP which is turned on and keeps the time in sync.
Secondly, the access key and secret must be generated after the user has been created and the power user policy attached to it.
if you do this, there's no reason for it to fail.

Okay, it is working now. I'm not sure what I was doing wrong, I started from scratch, in my case was not the NTP. In case someone else has similar issues, those are the steps I followed in order to make it work:

1. Go to https://console.aws.amazon.com/ses/

2. Click on SMTP settings

3. Create my smtp credentials – this will create a new user. Keep in mind that your SMTP user name and password are not the same as your AWS access key ID and secret access key. Do not attempt to use your AWS credentials to authenticate yourself against the SMTP endpoint.

4. Go to https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/home

5. Click on Users

6. Click on the new creates used (something like ses-smtp-user.908743967-213124

7. Add the PowerUser policy and the required permissions SES and SNS services – with full access, select all the permissions for both SES and SNS

8. Once you added the policy and permissions, click on Security Credentials tab

9. Create an access key – this is the key and the secret that should be used when you setup a new delivery server.
