flask-mail SMTPServerDisconnected error on EC2 with Ubuntu 14.04

I have a flask app using flask-mail to send out emails, using the same mail setting, I can successfully send out emails locally from my MacBook Pro. But when I deploy the same code with same email setting on EC2 on Ubuntu14.04, I cannot send emails and got the following error:

send: 'ehlo flasks-app-server1.localdomain\r\n'
Exception in thread Thread-2:

    self.send(str)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/smtplib.py", line 333, in send
    raise SMTPServerDisconnected('please run connect() first')
SMTPServerDisconnected: please run connect() first

I have googled this for about two hours and could not find a solution. Any help, please? Thanks!!

I solved this by opening port for SMTPS : 465 both on security group and the machine.

I figured it out. I AWS SES needs to verify the email for different region. I did not do that for the new region I am using.
