Historically, I’ve always used hosts like SiteGround to manage my hosting, but moving on in my journey and happy to jump to AWS for scale and cost.
Now, it seems like my website isn’t sending mail! Which includes not sending reset passwords or contact form enquiries
I cannot use SMTP as this is for a client and I wouldn’t be able to get inbox access
As I’m using a custom theme, I striped back most of the wordpress functions and ‘bloat’ so I fear I may have deleted a send mail function but I can’t confirm this.
Any suggestions?

Bit confused but what do you mean you cannot confirm whether you deleted the mail function? If you are able to make a custom theme, you sure are able to write a snippet that sends mail by [wp_mail]) and log whether it returns true or – if you “stripped” it, it should give you a fatal error in the debug.log. Anyways, much more likely the host blocks it.

It’s also critical that you setup an SPF record in the DNS.
