AWS javascript SDK SES SendMail Invalid address

Question

I am trying to send mail using AWS SES.

Here's the error I see:

{ "message": "Illegal address", "code": "InvalidParameterValue", "time": "2017-06-02T03:12:37.110Z", "requestId": "544c6aee-4741-11e7-9cf5-a709f069aa99", "statusCode": 400, "retryable": false, "retryDelay": 73.04001529701054 } 

Here, the request object is passed to the SendMail AWS.SES method for the javascript SDK.

 { "Destination": { "BccAddresses": [], "CcAddresses": [], "ToAddresses": [ " [e-mail] " ] }, "Message": { "Body": { "Html": { "Charset": "UTF-8", "Data": "You have been removed from Kudo mailing list for account: [e-mail] " }, "Text": { "Charset": "UTF-8", "Data": "You have been removed from Kudo mailing list for account: [e-mail] " } }, "Subject": { "Charset": "UTF-8", "Data": "Kudo email removal" } }, "ReplyToAddresses": [], "ReturnPath": "", "ReturnPathArn": "", "Source": " [e-mail] ", "SourceArn": "arn:aws:ses:us-west-2:1xxxxxxxxxx2:identity/ [e-mail] " } 

[e-mail] checked in my account (which is still in sandbox mode). [e-mail] also checked in my account.

Edit: I just tested it using test emails in SES and it worked ... still can't get it to send using the SDK.

Well, the key is to remove the blank lines for ReturnPath and ReturnPathArn and SourceArn if you are not using it. As soon as I did this, it worked.
