AWS SES Setup with Django - django

Question

I am trying to add AWS SES into my project. Where I get a different region listed
MessageRejected at /
An error occurred (MessageRejected) when calling the SendRawEmail operation: Email address is not verified. The following identities failed the check in region US-EAST-1: email#hotmail.com
In the AWS verified identities it is listed:
email#hotmail.com Email address Verified
I have the permissions for the SES for my policy for that user.
Attached from group
AmazonSESFullAccess
AWS managed policy from group AmazonSESFullAccess
Also my settings.py
EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django_ses.SESBackend'
EMAIL_HOST = 'email-smtp.us-west-2.amazonaws.com'
EMAIL_PORT = 465
EMAIL_USE_SSL = True
EMAIL_HOST_USER = ''
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = ''
Where it's used
from django.core.mail import send_mail
from django.conf import settings
send_mail(email_subject, email_message,'email#hotmail.com',['email#hotmail.com'])

Answer 1

1. Amazon SES sandbox
I'm assuming you're in Sandbox mode, which means you need to add the recipients' email addresses to successfully send the email. You can make a request to exit sandbox mode, then the daily limit of sent emails will increase and you will not have to define them.

2. New settings with TLS
The second option is to check if the mail works with TLC settings:
Example settings:
EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_HOST = 'email-smtp.<your AWS region>.amazonaws.com'
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'smtp_username'. # IAM user SMTP Credentials
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'smtp_password' # IAM user SMTP Credentials
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = 'my#mail.com' # You need to verify this mail
