What happened?

I'm unable to get SMTP work, using AWS SES which requires TLS. I've verified my smtp creds are correct thru a separate script to send an email. I also tried gmail SMTP and that also failed. Is there a particular smtp service I should be using instead? SendGrid, Mailgun, etc...?

Here's screenshots of the AWS SES smtp error, and gmail smtp error.

How can the issue be reproduced?

Configure smtp in settings. Click verify to try to send a test email. The errors I attached are from that. I've also verified if you enable email verification then create an account you won't get the email.

Apparently this is known codeigniter3 issue. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70143134/codeigniter-3-unable-to-send-email-using-php-smtp-your-server-might-not-be-conf

I solved it in my copy of BlizzCMS by adding:

$this->email->set_newline("\r\n");

after:
$this->email->message($message);

in the file: application/models/Auth_model.php
