# Offload SES Using wrong Endpoint

 * I created my SES account, verified my domain, got my credentials, and set everything
   properly in my wp-config.php. I constantly get an error stating that the credentials
   are incorrect. I tested the credentials on [https://www.smtper.net/](https://www.smtper.net/)
   and they work if you are using the correct SMTP endpoint,
    email-smtp.us-east-
   1.amazonaws.com.
 * When trying to send a test email, the error message I get shows that Offload 
   SES is not using this endpoint, but rather email.us-east-1.amazonses.com. I tried
   manually setting this in my wp-config with this line:
    // AWS SES Endpoint define(‘
   WP_SES_ENDPOINT’, ’email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com’);
 * But still the error persists using the wrong endpoint.
 * I don’t see anywhere in the GUI where you can set this.
 * Is there any way to manually set the endpoint? Did I use the wrong define in 
   my wp-config?

 * Hi,
 * On the ‘Setting’ tab, under ‘General’ have you chose the correct AWS “region’
   where your SES is configured, and have you set your AWS suitable access key and
   secret under the ‘AWS Access Keys’ option on the far right?
