Setting 'From' doesn't work when sender email has no name element, causing unverified sender failure

[Todderz]

When the sender is

Bilbo Baggins <bbaggins@theshire.com>

the regex for replacing the From address works. The part between < and > is removed, and the verified From address is added, leaving

From: Bilbo Baggins <i-am-verified@sender.com>

If the sender is just

bbaggins@theshire.com

then the removal of the original fails, leaving

From: bbaggins@theshire.com <i-am-verified@sender.com>

AWS scans the first item in the From header and fails with unverified sender.

message: 'sendRawEmail() returned error.',
  error: 
   { MessageRejected: Email address is not verified. The following identities failed the check in region EU-WEST-1: <bbaggins@theshire.com>

Have been using the function for over 12 months without problem until failures when the sender address is as described, surrounded by others still working correctly with the more usual sender format, so it's not anything to do with sandboxes or other config. The only difference I can see for the failed messages is the sender from address being as discussed.

This line:

aws-lambda-ses-forwarder/index.js

Line 209 in 6522b93

fromText = 'From: ' + from.replace(/<(.*)>/, '').trim() +

This is already fixed by #118

I merged it into my fork and it fixed the problem.

Got the same problem. Going to validate #118 for my usecase.

// Edit#1
I have a slightly modified version but the solution provided in #118 is working 👍
