**Your software**  
My Mautic version is: V2.16.1  
My PHP version is: 7.3.14

**Your problem**  
My problem is: The [email-smtp.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com](http://email-smtp.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com) SES host is missing from the list available.

These errors are showing in the log: n/a

Steps I have tried to fix the problem: I’ve found this in `bundles/EmailBundle/Form/Type/ConfigType.php`

```
$builder->add(
            'mailer_amazon_region',
            'choice',
            [
                'choices' => [
                    'email-smtp.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com' => 'mautic.email.config.mailer.amazon_host.eu_west_1',
                    'email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com' => 'mautic.email.config.mailer.amazon_host.us_east_1',
                    'email-smtp.us-west-2.amazonaws.com' => 'mautic.email.config.mailer.amazon_host.eu_west_2',
                ],
                'label' => 'mautic.email.config.mailer.amazon_host',
...

```

Can I just add the missing host key to that list? If so, what should the value be?

Also: it looks as if there’s a typo in that code anyway. The last key - `us-west-2` - has a value of `...eu_west_2`, which seems odd. Could I just change the third choice key to `eu` rather than `us`?

A simple patch seems to fix this. I also had to update `translations/en_GB/EmailBundle/messages.ini`

Mautic team: if you’d like a PR for this against 2.16.2, let me know.
