Setting up self hosted listmonk with AWS SES
Hi Everyone,
I am self host Listmonk on a docker container that that is exposed to the world via a cloudflare tunnel. I have setup AWS SES and SNS (bounce notifications) for use with listmonk. I get the following error when I try to send a test email from the listmonk UI:
dial tcp: lookup email-smtp.ca-central-1.amazonses.com on 127.0.0.11:53: no such host
It seems like the docker container is having trouble resolving the IP address to the AWS SES server. I've tried adding public dns resolvers to the listmonk docker compose with no luck. Any suggestions?
Thank you
