can't send email usign amazon SES from development enviroment

Question

I'm trying to change my mandrilapp configuration to amazon ses in order to send emails from my rails app, but when I try to test, rails does not gave any error, but the email never array.

I have two verified address from my ses management console, but I don't understand why I can't send emails.

I have the following configuration:

config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :aws_sdk

  config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
    :address   => "email-smtp.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com",
    :port      => 465,
    :enable_starttls_auto => true,
    :user_name => "blablablausername",
    :password  => "blablablablablablapassword", 
    :authentication => 'login',
    :ssl => true,
    :domain => 'mydomain.es', 
  }

any idea?

Thanks

UPDATE

---

I uploaded my code to heroku but when I sign up to create a new user I get the following error:

Aws::Errors::MissingCredentialsError (unable to sign request without credentials set)

but as you can see I have my user and pass credential.

What I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

I've successfully shipped an app using SES with the following setup.

# Gemfile
gem 'aws-ses', '~> 0.6.0', require: 'aws/ses'

# config/initializers/amazon_ses.rb
ActionMailer::Base.add_delivery_method :ses, AWS::SES::Base,
  access_key_id: Rails.application.secrets.amazon_access_key,
  secret_access_key: Rails.application.secrets.amazon_secret_key,
  server: 'email.us-west-2.amazonaws.com'

# config/environments/development(or production).rb
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :ses

You must also set the default URL options - config.action_mailer.default_url_options .
