    I am running on AWS, and have setup SES.

    Now the test email, and responses from Contact Form 7 plugin all work fine,

    but when I test the forgotton password link on the login page from my wordpress site, i get the following error:

    The e-mail could not be sent.
    Possible reason: your host may have disabled the mail() function.

    I have checked apache error log and php error log, and see nothing, going to try and up debug level and try again.

    can you give me any ideas how to fix this, I tried to get to your site to see FAQ but it seems to be down – https://coffee2code.com/wp-plugins/configure-smtp/

    many thanks

    from running in debug (setting debug on the Configure SMTP settings page)
    I can see the SES connection is all fine, but the message fails at the end with

    SMTP -> get_lines(): $str is “554 Message rejected: Email address is not verified. “
    SMTP -> get_lines(): $data is “554 Message rejected: Email address is not verified. “
    SMTP -> FROM SERVER:554 Message rejected: Email address is not verified.
    SMTP -> ERROR: DATA not accepted from server: 554 Message rejected: Email address is not verified.

    i.e. the sending email address for forgotton password is not verified.

    I have verified my domain and the email address [email protected] (which is the email address set in the WordPress general settings page)

    How can I find out what email address it is using to send?
    the debug output does not contain the message details so I am finding it hard to find ?

    thanks

    FIXED.

    dooh!!! was due to the fact I was using Amazon SES (amazon AWS email tool) was in sandbox mode,
    this will only send to verified email addresses. You need production access to send to all users.

    Now I have production access all now working.

    thanks.
