Hi everyone,
anyone working with AWS SES for sending emails.
I have put all the configuration but, I always endup with :
[2021-02-03T11:02:50.296Z] debug :tv:: Error: connect ETIMEDOUT 35.158.187.131:443
[2021-02-03T11:02:50.297Z] debug :tv:: {}
This on local dev.
I used the same settings with nodemailer on an express project without issues.

   email: {
  provider: 'amazon-ses',
  providerOptions: {
    key: 'XXXXXXX',
    secret: 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',
    amazon: 'https://email-smtp.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com',
  },

module.exports = {

/**

  • Sends an email to the recipient in the body of the request
    */
    send: async (ctx) => {
    const body = ctx.request.body
    const sendTo = body.email
    strapi.log.debug(Trying to send an email to ${sendTo})
    const templateId = “1”,
    to = sendTo,
    from = “contact@xxxx.com”,
    replyTo = “contact@xxxx.com”,
    subject = “[TEST] This is a test using strapi-email-designer”,
    userData = {
    email: sendTo,
    };
    try {
    await strapi.plugins[“email-designer”].services.email.send({
    templateId,
    to,
    from,
    replyTo,
    subject,
    data: userData,
    });
    } catch (err) {
    strapi.log.debug(":tv:: ", err);
    return ctx.badRequest(null, err);
    }
    },
    }

Thanks for the Help
