Send email with Amazon SES using smtp java

Question

I am trying to use exactly same code as here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/send-using-smtp-java.html I changed FROM, FROMNAME, TO, SMTP_USERNAME, SMTP_PASSWORD, HOST . But I am not able to send email. Both the email has been added and verified for Amazon SES.

I am using mail dependency:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.sun.mail</groupId>
        <artifactId>javax.mail</artifactId>
        <version>1.6.1</version>
    </dependency>

Logs:

Where is the problem?

check your AWS port and the server information by login into your SES in left hand side SMTP settings and check the credentials too. — mallikarjun
I re-verified SES username, password as well as port. No luck! Post SES configuration I got one email with SES details with credential. I am using that only. — Shashi Ranjan

trying to connect to host "email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com", port 587, isSSL false

The email was not sent.

You should try port 25, if isSSL=false or make SSL=true and use ssl port.
