The placeholders 'AWS_ACCESS_KEY' and 'AWS_SECRET_KEY' are misleading, given that the AWS documentation explicitly states:
"Your SMTP user name and password are not the same as your AWS access key ID and secret access key. Do not attempt to use your AWS credentials to authenticate yourself to the Amazon SES SMTP endpoint."
