The Contact Form is currently not compatible with the Amazon SES (and I'm guessing other SMTP email services) because it attempts to send the emails from the user's email address, which is not a verified email address within the site's Amazon SES account.
An alternate way to handle this would be for the user's email address to be placed in a "Reply to" field, with the email actually being sent by the default XenForo email address. A similar patch was made for the Wordpress add-on contact form here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/...rms-patch-fix-incompatibility-with-amazon-ses
As email moves more and more to the cloud, I believe this is an important issue to patch.
