Emails are not sent for the "Reset password" flow

[weballianz]

I want to use smtp or amazon ses instead of maildev.

I configured the email service from the following location: /cp-local-development/workspace-zen/services/cp-email-service

In the docker-compose.yml, I've configured the AWS SES Key, secret, etc.

I am able to send email from curl, but the zen platform cannot use this service/configuration. I received the following error:

Hey @weballianz
The configuration for sending emails are fairly hardcoded : https://github.com/CoderDojo/cp-users-service/blob/master/config/config.js#L32
You might have to modify those to get SES to work
