Description
Email notifications fail when using AWS SES SMTP server.
The smtp_functions.py script does not log the actual error message.
Commenting out lines 45 and 46 allows mail to be sent through SES
Modifying the except on line 53 and 54 with the following led me to the issue
except Exception as err:
logging.debug(f"Failed to send notification email with error: {err}")
As a work around I am including the below in my docker run command to use the modified version of the script
-v /path/to/host/smtp_functions.py:/mergin-db-sync/smtp_functions.py

Research direction
Start with smtp_functions.py, especially lines 45-54, and run the email notification path against an AWS SES SMTP server to reproduce the failure. The work is done when the actual SES exception is visible in the logs and the notification behavior is verified without requiring a host-mounted replacement file.
