This is my PHPMailer settings

$this->SMTPDebug = 3;

$this->Host = 'email-smtp.us-west-2.amazonaws.com';
$this->Username = '***';
$this->Password = '***';
$this->SMTPAuth = true;
$this->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
$this->Port = 587;
$this->isHTML(true);
$this->isSMTP();


$this->From = '***';
$this->FromName = '***';
$this->ReturnPath = '***';

I tried to send this to different email but it still not working. Here is actual code of sending

$mailer = new Mailer($API);
$mailer->Subject = 'New User Added';
$mailer->Body = '123';

$mailer->addAddress('***', '***');

if (!$mailer->send()) {
   throw new Exception($mailer->ErrorInfo);
} else {
    print_r('Sent');
}

I would suggest that you go to https://www.mail-tester.com/ and then copy the email address you see. Update your code and then send an email using PHPMailer to the address you copied. Assuming that your code does actually send the email, and it looks like your code is correct, then Mail Tester will show you what problems your email has.
