API call via SDK to send SES email via interface endpoint

Question

Hi team,
I have a private VPC in which I added an endpoint for email service to be able to send emails via Amazon SES but the job that sends the SES email runs forever and doesn't do anything.

I opened port 25 in the SG as mentioned here :

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/dg/send-email-set-up-vpc-endpoints.html

My SDK code (in a glue job) use an API call to the SES send email command to send the email

not sure if the email interfaces SMTP endpoint work for SES?

Answer

Hello,

From the details I understand that you are trying to send emails via Amazon SES associated with Glue ETL job. Can you please provide below details :

1. Did your Glue ETL job fail and you did not receive emails ?
2. Have you already worked with AWS support to get port 25 restriction removed as I see that the port 25 restriction can't be removed from non-VPC functions. Do you see any timeout issues ?
3. Do you see any Access Denied/other authorization issues for the Glue IAM user/role in Cloud Trail while trying to send emails to SES ?

I would recommend you to please open a ticket with Glue premium support providing Glue job run ID, AWS region in which the job ran and we can work on a screen-share.
