I am trying to configure AWS SES with the help of nodemailer.
So I am following the documentation.
This is the code that they provided and that I tested:

let nodemailer = require("nodemailer");
let aws = require("@aws-sdk/client-ses");

const ses = new aws.SES({
  apiVersion: "2010-12-01",
  region: "us-west-2",
});

// create Nodemailer SES transporter
let transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
  SES: { ses, aws },
});

// send some mail
transporter.sendMail(
  {
    // These are obviously not the actual emails I am using
    from: "configured_aws_email",
    to: "recipient_email",
    subject: "Message",
    text: "I hope this message gets sent!",
    ses: {
      // optional extra arguments for SendRawEmail
      Tags: [
        {
          Name: "tag_name",
          Value: "tag_value",
        },
      ],
    },
  },
  (err, info) => {
    console.log(
      "🚀 ~ file: transactional-email-confiig.js ~ line 36 ~ err",
      err
    );
    console.log(
      "🚀 ~ file: transactional-email-confiig.js ~ line 41 ~ info.envelope",
      info.envelope
    );
    console.log(
      "🚀 ~ file: transactional-email-confiig.js ~ line 43 ~ info.messageId",
      info.messageId
    );
  }
);

These are the versions of the required packaged I installed:

package.json

"@aws-sdk/client-ses": "^3.40.0",
"aws-sdk": "^2.1026.0",

I configured the AWS keys in the .env file:

.env

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=***************
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=*************

This is the node version:

node -v

v15.8.0

And the AWS SES email address I am using is verified:

But, I keep getting this error:

node_modules/nodemailer/lib/ses-transport/index.js:242
                this.ses.sendRawEmail(sesMessage, (err, data) => {
                         ^

TypeError: this.ses.sendRawEmail is not a function
