OK, that’s another use case. Many do use a full fledged Postfix/Dovecot installation. However the outgoing port 25 into the internet is blocked by AWS, and therefore we may either use a third party relay for our outgoing emails or may use SES, which is not that bad - except some unusual peculiarities.

Of course, if I wanted to, I could change, this is something which is under my control.

That would however change nothing with the other issue, of my Vacation plugin responding with a nonsense MAIL TO address to third parties using SES, this is not under our control. There is even no channel to argue about it.
