Hi there,
Did you check that your Email DSN is correctly configured?
What provider were you using before, and what are you using now?
Please share your DSN settings from your Email Settings under Configuration.

It probably was, but this is a **breaking change release** , being a major release.
This means that many things are **fundamentally different** , some things are removed, and you need to take actions to make sure all is good after updating.

If this is a problem for you, please roll back to your backup, and test in a development area until you’ve got your DSN settings up and running as expected.

Hi @kanaekwe,
as far as im concerned Mautic 5 does not yet support Amazon SES as an ESP. The plugin for the Amazon SES support is still being worked on.
Im afraid it will take a couple days/weeks until we have the support fully covered and tested.
Best
Leon

@Leon_Oltmanns there is no need for a special plugin if you are using SMTP, that works out of the box. With any provider. The special plugin is built for batch API.

@kanaekwe I can see this error comes from the code that is executed only if the `mailer_convert_embed_images` param is ON. There is probably a bug when sending emails wit embedded images. Try to turn this option off if it helps.
Would you mind [filing up a bug issue](https://github.com/mautic/mautic/issues/new?assignees=&labels=bug%2Cneeds-triage&projects=&template=BUG-REPORT.yml&title=Your+bug+title+goes+here%21) about this?

Actually I’ve got 5.0.1 installed with composer, and after settings every thing then doing `composer require symfony/amazon-mailer` and then doing as the following screen works without error on php8.1. You need to change to your SES region, as eu-west-3 is Paris.
What don’t work for now is both symfony mailer direct input in the local.php config file (for easy to input command (find on the internet and then copy & past), and round-robin, failover, every single advanced case, as mautic can’t send and corresponding fields are blank if the settings are changed here) and SES mail delivery notification (if it fails, your bounce would not be reported back).

Thanks @escopecz I turned convert embed image OFF and email test is working. I will fill the bug

Hi there,
It is [written in the docs](https://docs.mautic.org/en/5.x/configuration/settings.html#smtp-transport) that you should not be directly editing the local.php file as you would need to encode the values which most users could not do themselves easily:
> Use the Mautic’s global configuration to paste in the DSN information, especially the API keys and passwords. **The values must be URL-encoded, and the configuration form does that for you. If you are pasting DSN settings directly into the config/local.php file, you must URL-encode the values yourself.**
Also it’s mentioned in the [blog post](https://www.mautic.org/blog/community/mautic-5-beyond-expectations-beyond-limits) and further detail on the [docs](https://docs.mautic.org/en/5.x/configuration/settings.html#email-transport-settings), that Symfony plugins do not provide bounce management / callbacks, which is why you need to use a third party Mautic plugin. The SES one has some work still needing doing - see this conversation in Slack if you can help with that: [Slack](https://mautic.slack.com/archives/C02HV76BW/p1704904423773409)
