Nodemailer 7 + AWS SESv2 + TypeScript: TS2769 "SES does not exist in type TransportOptions"

I'm trying to send emails using Nodemailer 7.0.11 with AWS SESv2 and TypeScript, but I'm running into this compile error when creating the transporter:

No overload matches this call. The last overload gave the following error. Object literal may only specify known properties, and 'SES' does not exist in type 'TransportOptions | Transport<unknown, TransportOptions>'.ts(2769) index.d.ts(70, 17): The last overload is declared here.

Here's the relevant code:

import nodemailer from 'nodemailer' import {SESv2Client} from "@aws-sdk/client-sesv2"; import {SendEmailCommand} from "@aws-sdk/client-ses"; // 1. Configure the AWS SDK client (uses default credential chain if omitted) const sesClient = new SESv2Client({ region: "us‑east‑1" }); // 2. Create a Nodemailer transport that points at SES const transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({ SES: { sesClient, SendEmailCommand }, });

Environment:

[email protected] @aws-sdk/client-sesv2@latest (AWS SDK v3) TypeScript with strict: true
