replyto causes error

[alexvpickering]

The following works:

send_email("Test Email Body", subject = "Test Email", 
             from = "myemail@example.com", to = "myemail@example.com")

Adding replyto fails

send_email("Test Email Body", subject = "Test Email", 
             from = "myemail@example.com", to = "myemail@example.com", replyto="myemail@example.com")

With this warning:

Warning messages:
1: In sesPOST(body = query, ...) : Bad Request (HTTP 400).

Try it with an AWS-verified address as the replyto address. Amazon-SES replyto addresses have to be AWS-verified, just like from addresses. Amazon's customers have been complaining about this since 2011. Here's page 2 of the thread, which has the most recent requests to fix this.

My previous comment was based on my experience with SMTP. When using the api, on the other hand, it appears replyto addresses do not need to be AWS-verified after all. However, there was a bug in the replyto code which is fixed in a pull request I'm about to make.
