    I’m receving this error:

    You getting this message because an error detected while delivered your email.
For the domain: xxxx
The log to paste when you open a support issue:
Signature Version 2 is deprecated for use with SES from March 26, 2021. From that date on, we are progressively rejecting such requests. To resolve the issue, you must migrate to Signature Version 4. If you created your SMTP credentials in the SES Console, please create new credentials and replace the former ones. If you are deriving Signature Version 2 credentials from a IAM user, please start using the Signature Version 4 algorithm: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/smtp-credentials.html

    What should I exactly do?

    You should get a mail with instructions from Amazon, but here the important part:

    To migrate to Signature Version 4, please replace your existing SMTP credentials using the appropriate procedure relative to your setup:

If you generated your SMTP credentials using the SES Console, simply create new credentials and replace your existing credentials with the new ones.
If you derived your SMTP credentials from your AWS credentials, make sure you are using the Signature Version 4 algorithm. If you rely on a library to do this conversion, check if the library has a newer release that uses Signature Version 4 algorithm and migrate to it. Otherwise, you will need to either derive the credentials from another library that uses Signature Version 4 algorithm or generate credentials using the SES console.

    Hi @farahnahle,

    We haven’t heard from you in a while, so I’ll mark this thread as resolved. If you have any further questions please feel free to open a new thread, and link to this one.

    Hello @tneville,

    I was monitoring this week if the error will occur again.
    We changed the credentials and since then the issue did not occur again till now.

    Thanks for your support!
