"require is not defined in ES module scope, you can use import instead"

I continue to get this error from the very beginning of the script and I've tried changing it to import and the code breaks even further. I'm sure that this is somehow related to my configurations but I have it set on node.js 18.x and I don't see a whole lot else I could change to get this to work. Please help.....

Change the index.mjs to index.js, and runtime to node 16.x. That should make it work. However, I just moved to using https://github.com/adam-fowler/ses-forwarder-lambda

Either I goofed, or changing index.js didn't work for me. However, making it index.cjs (CommonJS module extension) seems to have done the trick. No other syntax changes required, as yet. (Although I'm now debugging other things...)

This works for me, change index.mjs to index.js, and runtime to node 16.x 🔥🔥🔥

Same. Works properly now, thanks!
