My email logs are filling up with bounced emails being sent from my domain with a From header formatted like so:
root@support@mydomain.com
What is causing this?

Best Answer
When sending via SES, you need to set your
From:header to one of the "verified" email addresses you configured when setting up SES for your AWS account.You're setting your
From:address toroot@support@mydomain.com, which is an invalid email address. You need to set this to a valid email address that you've verifed through the SES console (or API).
