Configure Amazon SES for SMTP on Opencart

Hi, I need to setup Amazon SES with Opencart trough SMTP. I have smtp fields on opencart. I've complete them but still not working. I've inserted smtp setting that amazon ses given me but it does not work. Also i verified domain name and email address on ses but still not working. As i understand , it must have an encrypted tunnel like [login to view URL] but that is to much for me. Also i will need to create an email address trough amazon work mail wich is no big deal but i think it must be setup after ses is setup. Happy bidding
