I've created a pull request to solve this problem: https://github.com/snipe/snipe-it/pull/10982

We use SES on the hosted platform, so it does work, just not the way later versions of Laravel expect it to work

If I see it correctly, Laravel 8 is used after all. In this there is the following instruction: https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/mail#ses-driver

In this guide you can choose the region, otherwise the IAM user would have to be created in us-east-1. But in the current config you can not overwrite the region.

I understand that in Laravel 6 it was implemented in a different way, but I assumed that SnipeIT v6 would go back to the default of Laravel. If that is not the case, feel free to consider this issue resolved.
