Request to AWS SES API failed. Reason: Error executing "SendRawEmail" in Laravel 10

Describe the bug

I am trying to send emails with AWS SES. I followed the Laravel official doc and configured the application. but when I tried to send an email I got the following error. I was using ses as MAIL_MAILER at this time.

Request to AWS SES API failed. Reason: Error executing "SendRawEmail" on "https://email.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com"; AWS HTTP error: cURL error 60: SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate (see https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html) for https://email.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com.

I assigned AmazonSESFullAccess and AmazonSNSFullAccess permissions directly to my IAM user. I was using aws/aws-sdk-php package with my Laravel application but while trying to solve the issue I tried with aws/aws-sdk-php-laravel package too. But the error remains the same.

Then I generated an SMTP access credential and used it for sending emails. This time it worked.

Expected Behavior

Email should be sent.

Current Behavior

Email send failed with the following error

Request to AWS SES API failed. Reason: Error executing "SendRawEmail" on "https://email.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com"; AWS HTTP error: cURL error 60: SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate (see https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html) for https://email.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com.

The issue has been resolved. Needed to install a new certificate from https://curl.se/docs/caextract.html and then enable it from the php.ini.

now the email is working as expected.
