Weird error with Amazon SES

0

Hello All

I verified an email address that I will use to send emails "from"
DKIM: not yet done: docs are unclear if both emails and DKIM need to be validated. I got confused, so I skipped this for now.

Let us say that email "from" is "me@me.com"
For all the following, I used the SMTP, through SES Servers of the same region where I had created the verified email me@me.com on AWS

Emails from "me@me.com" to "me@me.com" get delivered
Emails (exact same content as above) from "me@me.com" to "me@somwhere.else.com" don't get delivered. The SMTP server returns an error

Full SMTP log is below (I changed email addresses used)
