I'll be using Amazon SES for sending emails.
Currently I'm trying to get SES to work on my local environment, and I can't using IAM. So, I thought I might give SMTP a try. I wanted to know if there are any disadvantages in using SMTP over IAM with SES?
I'm getting this btw even though the keys are correct:
The request signature we calculated does not match the signature you provided. Check your AWS Secret Access Key and signing method.
@mskhoshnazar IAM is Amazon Web Services’ way of defining which resources a particular user can access in an AWS account. I don’t see why you can’t use IAM.
You just need to create an IAM user with programmatic access. This will give you an access key ID and secret key. You’ll also need to create a policy that gives the IAM user access to SES in your account.
