    That's weird, If I set it up like that I get the following error when the boards tries to send e-mails:

    Code:
    Email to [VALID EMAIL] failed: Could not read from email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com

    Try re-creating or regenerating your AWS AMI access key/token.

    Tried with a new AMI user, also with the solutions of the topics above, still the same, I guess I will just stick to SSL.

    Doesn't show port 587 as being open or used. How would I open port 587 to work with Amazons SES SMTP?

    Thanks,

    Did you request Amazon SES support to take you out of sandbox mode ? If not you want to be able to send live real emails ? Did you test send emails via SES in Xenforo ? You won't see port 587 listed as it's not a listening service.

    Did you setup correctly Amazon AMI access key/token. Try re-creating or regenerating your AWS AMI access key/token.

    Centmin Mod LEMP stack installs CSF Firewall out of the box, so to be able to remotely connect to external servers, you need to whitelist and allow TCP connections out. Centmin Mod 123.09beta01 by default now should allow port 587 for TCP_OUT and TCP6_OUT in CSF Firewall config file /etc/csf/csf.conf.
    Code (Text):
    egrep '^TCP_OUT|^TCP6_OUT' /etc/csf/csf.conf
TCP_OUT = "993,995,465,587,1110,1194,9418,20,21,22,25,53,80,8079;8080,8081,8082,110,113,443,587,993,995"
TCP6_OUT = "993,995,465,587,20,21,22,25,53,80,110,113,443,587,993,995"

    I finally got xenforo to send email. For some reason I had to verify the boards email address in Amazon. I am not sure why because eveything I read say once you are out of sandbox that it didn't matter which email address worked.

    I was wondering if you had to setup a DKIM for outgoing emails from the server? I currently have a DKIM setup to work with Zoho for incoming and outgoing emails. Can you have 2 DKIM?

    Thanks,

    So even if we use Amazon SES we should have set Dkim records?

    I thought that was not needed as SES will take care of it through the SMTP ..... ?

    see Email - Steps to ensure your site/server email doesn't end up in spam inboxes

    There's 2 servers sending outbound emails

    1. your centmin mod server via postfix @hostname.domain.com
    2. your amazon ses services via @domain.com

    need DKIM, SPF, DMARC for both sets of @domain.com and @hostname.domain.com

    Can you show your Xenforo "options/groups/emailOptions/" page settings? Presumably you're using xenforo's automated bounce handling? And connect it somehow to Amazon SNS?

    I've been reading through a bunch of threads on the xenforo forums and no one is giving clear and full directions for how to set up SES.

    This addon might be the easiest way to do it? Beta - Amazon SES Bounces Support
    I haven't read another clear explanation of how to set up the automated bounce handling.

    EDIT: I found this XF 2.0 - Bounce Email - use a dedicated gmail address (bounces9384@gmail) to handle bounces. Is that what you're using?

    Yup that's all I use for Bounce but not gmail account just a separate @mydomain.com email account with IMAP access.
