Getting AWS SES Access Denied Again: What Should I Do?

Yeah, the process can be frustrating and often lacks transparency. When we faced similar issues, our test environment got access quickly, but it took ages for the production one. Just be gentle in your communication with AWS and ask for clarification on the reasons for the denials. Sometimes, being polite goes a long way!

It sounds like you're doing great things, but maybe there are a few details you're missing. Have you provided specific examples of the emails you'll be sending? Also, setting up bounce back and complaint automation is key—you should be adding emails to a suppression list if necessary. It's crucial to ensure that users confirm their email addresses too. Adding unsubscribe links to your transactional emails (except for password resets) is also a must. Sending a screenshot or even the email templates might help! Good luck!

Have you thought about trying other services, like SendGrid or Mailgun? Sometimes it's worth exploring backup options in case AWS continues to give you the runaround. It’s always a good idea to have alternatives lined up!
