AWS::SES Response Error: InvalidParameterValue - Illegal content
This is probably an error in my usage, but I can't figure it out.
Mailer.mail_from_address = "Arqball Spin <[email protected]>"
subject = "test"
...
mail :to => "[email protected]",
:from => Mailer.mail_from_address,
:subject => subject
I know that the from address is static and works sometimes, so I cannot understand how to debug the following, which seems to be a problem with the Sender field? Is there any way to print the entire request sent to SES for debugging?

@Meekohi I'm curious if you see the same error if you change Mailer.mail_from_address = "Arqball Spin [email protected]" to Mailer.mail_from_address = "[email protected]" Also the "From" address usually needs to be "verified" by AWS SES. A verification email with a verification link would need to sent to [email protected] before setting it as the "From" email while using SES.
I think the value of Mailer.mail_from_address would need to be changed to "Arqball Spin <[email protected]>" to get this to work, due to the RFC on the headers.
The safest way to deal with this issue is tightly wrap your code according to RFCs; i.e. your from address should always look like "\"#{from_name}\" <#{from_email}>".
