With this configuration mailer will use default SES endpoint (it will not take AWS_REGION from environment).
So, you'll have to configure it also if you're using non-default region:

ActionMailer::Base.add_delivery_method :ses, AWS::SES::Base,
                                       :access_key_id => ENV['AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'],
                                       :secret_access_key => ENV['AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'],
                                       :server => 'email.' + ENV['AWS_REGION'] + '.amazonaws.com'
