Amazon SES can't send email to non-verified email address

Question

I'm trying to send an email using Amazon SES. I've had this working with the us-east-1 region and just switched my region to eu-east-1 and I can't send an email to my personal gmail account. I have verified the from address, the error is explicitly asking to verifiy the to address, which seems super odd. What's going wrong here? If I change the to email to match the from it works, which is super odd.

Email address is not verified. The following identities failed the check in region

Do you have this at the top of your SES dashboard?

If so it's because you need to request to be approved out of "sandbox" mode.

...because each region is independent. Having production access in one region doesn't mean you have it in another. – Michael - sqlbot Oct 26 '16 at 23:57
