I need help with sending email using kratos in docker. I am using AWS SES for my email provider. Tried sending an email using other smtp client with the cress I used for kratos and it worked fine. I don't get any authentication error either when sending out email. But I don't get the emails for some reason. Is there a way to test sending out emails even in the ory cli for kratos?

Have you verified your email in the AWS SES console?

Just figured out why. I need to add --dev and --watch-courier when running kratos. Is there a reason why this is required?

It's documented here: <https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/self-hosted/mail-courier-selfhosted>

There is a worker that runs in a separate process that process the mail queue. It doesn't run by default.
