django ses issue (with celery): BotoServerError: BotoServerError: 403 Forbidden

[saurabhprakash]

I am using django-ses:

Please find settings for it

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django_ses.SESBackend'
EMAIL_HOST = 'email.us-east-1.amazonaws.com'
EMAIL_PORT = 465
EMAIL_HOST_USER = '----------------'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = '-------------------'

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = '-------------------'
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = '------------------------------'
AWS_SES_REGION_ENDPOINT = 'email.us-east-1.amazonaws.com'

Find the error stack:

BotoServerError: BotoServerError: 403 Forbidden
<ErrorResponse xmlns="http://ses.amazonaws.com/doc/2010-12-01/">

Perhaps your IAM user doesn't have sufficient permissions to perform that action? There should be a permission group for SESAdministratorAccess (or just Read and Write or something similar, if you don't want to give admin access) which you will need to apply on your IAM user.

If you are sending mail from verified email ID to another verified email ID, then please try this User Policy that worked for me with Django.
Please update your User Policy with this:

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "ses:SendEmail",
                "ses:SendRawEmail",
                "ses:GetSendQuota"
            ],
            "Resource": "*"
        }
    ]
}

    ]
}

It should be added to README.
