Email Alert Issue sending via AWS SES

hi folks

using splunk 7.1.1 and we're having issues sending email alerts to AWS SES - when we send via a search string the mail works just fine. I've also modified the sendemail.py file to enable TLS. Has anyone successfully managed to get this working as I have not seen any splunk answers which has solved the automatic alert issue, only when sending via a search

Hi, did you manage to get a solution to this issue? Same thing happening to me after upgrading from Splunk to Splunk 8 to 9.

Thanks.
