socket.gaierror: [Errno -2] Name or service not known

[aniketmaithani]

I have configured the AWS SES configuration on my system. Whenever I am trying to send an email from from django.core.mail import send_mail I get the following error :

socket.gaierror: [Errno -2] Name or service not known

Whereas on my system python manage.py get_ses_statistics works fine! [Does that means my credentials are correct? ]
TIA

Were you able to find a solution to this?

Couple of things @GargiVyas31

• Make sure you have installed right dependency of django-ses. As there are couple of libraries with same name.
• Your AWS SES settings should be right. Make sure your IAM User for SES has dedicated permissions.
• In case you still get the error try re-initiation of the IAM user for SES with new credentials.

• Region of SES invalid.
