I am updating the verification email template and changing the “from” field to anything at all makes the test emails and real emails within our application not send at all, even when I use the example in the text there.

Hi @myu ,

Welcome to the Auth0 Community!

Could you please enter a valid email instead of `<support@yourcompany.com>` in the `From` field, save the change, and try again? Please let me know how it goes. Thanks!

Thanks for the response! I have tried with a few valid emails and am experiencing the same issue. I’ve also tried hard coding a name here and it doesn’t work either.

I checked the logs in your tenant. There was a “Failure” in sending the notification.

The error in the log is like this:

`Email address is not verified. The following identities failed the check in region xxxx"`

I found [this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37528301/email-address-is-not-verified-aws-ses) article regarding the error.

Could you please try with a different `From` email and check if it works?

Thanks!
