title: Amazon SES Error for VERIFIED address "MessageRejected: Email address is not verified"
body: <p>I have an Amazon SES connection setup which is currently in Sandbox mode.</p>
  
  <p>I have my email address, I use my real one but for this post let's call it <code>myemail@arealdomain.com</code>. It's verified in SES, in the email tab it says "verified" right next to it.</p>
  
  <p>I have a Node app which sends the mail via Nodemailer</p>
  
  <pre><code>this.transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
    SES: new aws.SES({ region: "us-east-1" })
  });
  
  this.defaultFromAddress = 'myemail@arealdomain.com';
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and then I send it with this.transporter.sendMail, with ALL email addresses being the same <code>myemail@arealdomain.com</code></p>
  
  <p>When I try to send an email, (both TO and FROM the same address, which is Verified on SES)</p>
  
  <p>On send I get the below error</p>
  
  <pre><code>Error: MessageRejected: Email address is not verified. The following identities failed the check in region US-EAST-1: myemail@arealdomain.com
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any ideas how to fix?</p>
  
  <p><strong>update</strong></p>
  
  <p>Per the conversation below I triple confirmed both my region and email address is correct across both my code and AWS. The to and from address are the same, and is listed in AWS as "verified". I'm still having this issue and totally unsure how to proceed</p>
  
  <p><strong>update2</strong></p>
  
  <p>Sending a "Test Email" from the SES dashboard works just fine, using the same email addresses... </p>
  
  <p><strong>update3</strong></p>
  
  <p>It gets weirder! So we got out of Sandbox mode yesterday and are a normal SES account now. Same exact errors no matter what combo of to/from addresses I'm using. I'm always using a "verified" address as the FROM, and no matter the TO (even if it's also a verified address) I get the exact same error that</p>
