Amazon SES only sends to verified email - How-To Guides - Build a Serverless Web Application - Manage Users - Implementation - Validate your implementation

Question

I am following the instructions beginning with step 1 of the title How-To Guide and clicking on "Let's Ride".  This is supposed to add the email to the Cognito user pool and send a confirmation code to the user's email.

The following error is printed:

CodeDeliveryFailureException: Cognito received the following error from Amazon SES when attempting to send email: Email address is not verified. The following identities failed the check in region US-EAST-2: charlesXXXX@gmail.com

This process does create the user in the Cognito user pool but the email with the verification code is not sent.

Would I be able to send to unverified email addresses with Amazon SES if I move out of the sandbox?

Answer

SES will only send to verified addresses while in Sandbox mode.  You need to ask for it to be moved out of sandbox mode.

This is documented here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/dg/request-production-access.html
