I am trying to receive emails on a domain email like xyz#example.com and I have done the following steps to get the results but am unable to get that.
Firstly, I have created an SNS topic and linked that SNS topic with HTTPS protocol to a rest API to receive the incoming email details. And then in SES firstly I have verified the domain and then in the email receiving section I have created a rule set and activated that rule set and I have not added recipient condition and in the action I am using AWS SNS topic and same topic which I have created for this email receiving. But I am not able to receive the email content to the endpoint which I have linked to SNS topic. I have added the MX record in Cloudflare DNS and I am using us-east1 for value endpoint.
How can I implement this?
Check your destination rules, if you need receive all traffic domain add your naked domain: example.com, if you need receive traffic for specific address: user#example.com, also check if You have more than one MX record, if You have two or more setup priority for SES.

I've been trying to set up AWS Simple Email Service as a way to forward emails received to my custom domain on to my Gmail account, without any email hosting service required.
I have set up and verified my custom domain (mycustomdomain.com) as well as verified the email address they'll be forwarded to (myemail#gmail.com) as I'm still in Sandbox mode.
Under Email Receiving -> Rule Sets, I have an active / enabled rule set (forward-to-myemail-gmail) which is enabled, doesn't require TLS and has spam/virus scanning on.
There are no recipients specified, which I believe should allow this rule to be triggered for ALL recipients under my custom domain.
I have a single SNS action specified, which is to publish to the SNS topic (sns-forward-to-myemail-gmail) using base64 encoding
I have also set up my SNS topic as above and associated subscription, and have tested sending a notification to this topic manually using the console, so have confirmed it works.
However if I try sending an email to, for example, test#mycustomdomain.com, I get a bounce message back saying:
Address not found
Your message wasn't delivered to test#mycustomdomain.com because the address couldn't be found or is unable to receive email.
The response was:
550 Mailbox does not exist!
I've also confirmed that the MX records have been set up correctly using mxtoolbox.com, which says the domain records point to feedback-smtp.us-west-2.amazonses.com
Any suggestions for what I'm doing wrong? Many thanks!
Ok I figured it out... User error, as expected!
I had two MX records, one for the "mail" subdomain and another for "#" meaning the base domain. Both were set to the feedback endpoint, which was the problem. I think I was misunderstanding the two MX records.
The "mail from" configuration that used the SES feedback endpoint needed to be set for the sending subdomain (mail.mycustomdomain.com) while the SES inbound SMTP endpoint should have been used for the receiving domain (#, which means mycustomdomain.com).
Before when I was setting both to the same value I found either get a verified MAIL FROM or received email but not both. Obvious in hindsight! Hope this helps someone else.
For anyone else that had some trouble understanding ChrisC's answer, here is more detail on what I needed to do. I setup my domain using Route53, but other domain providers is similar.
TL;DR
Create a custom MAIL FROM domain
Add the following records to Route53 or your DNS provider:
Record name
Type
Value/Route traffic to
mail.customdomain.com
MX
10 feedback-smtp.[region].amazonaws.com
customdomain.com
TXT
"v=spf1 include:amazonses.com ~all"
customdomain.com
MX
10 inbound-smtp.[region].amazonaws.com
Outbound mail
Go to the Amazon SES AWS console. Under "Configuration," go to "Verified Identities." Under "Custom MAIL FROM domain," provide a custom subdomain (e.g., mail.customdomain.com). Select the option to add the DNS records (an MX record and a TXT record) to Route53 (or just add them manually). See this page in the AWS docs regarding custom MAIL FROM domains.
Inbound mail
Go to the Route53 AWS console. Under "Hosted zones," click on the domain you want to enable for receiving emails. Add an MX record for the base domain (e.g., customdomain.com) with the following value [priority] inbound-smtp.[region].amazonaws.com, where [region] can be us-east-1, us-west-2, or eu-west 1 (see this page for full details). Do NOT use email-smtp.[region].amazonaws.com for receiving inbound mail. I received a 530 Authentication required error in the bounce email when attempting to do so.
See this page in the AWS docs regarding publishing an MX record for receiving SES email.
Thanks for the answers above. For anyone else working through this, in my case the feedback value (for the mail.xxx.com had to be:
10 feedback-smtp.[region].amazonses.com
While the root domain value had to be:
10 inbound-smtp.[region].amazonaws.com
note that the feedback domain is AMAZONSES while the inbound domain is AMAZONAWS.
I have many email addresses, one for each user, on a subdomain like so: username#upload.mywebsite.com
I'd like to receive all of these emails into one Inbox for me to use, e.g. combineduploads#mywebsite.com
I'm using AWS Workmail and Route 53. I'm not sure where to start. Maybe this can be done with DNS records?
This can be done using AWS SES and AWS Lambda where you can setup a SES rule to trigger a Lambda function to forward the mails received to a predefined email address.
For more details refer Forwarding Emails to your Inbox Using Amazon SES. You can launch the CloudFormation stack to automate the majority of the configurations.
I'm not sure if this is the place to ask this.
I recently bought a domain from Google and setup email forwarding so that emails sent to 'me#domain.com' get sent to the gmail of the account that owns the domain, then I stared an ec2 instance on AWS. I changed my nameservers in Google domains so that when I go to my domain, I get my ec2 instance and this works correctly.
However, now my email forwarding no longer works, so I tried setting up a MX in route 53 on AWS using
5 gmr-smtp-in.l.google.com.
10 alt1.gmr-smtp-in.l.google.com.
20 alt2.gmr-smtp-in.l.google.com.
30 alt3.gmr-smtp-in.l.google.com.
40 alt4.gmr-smtp-in.l.google.com.
with no name as I have read online. I am still not recieving emails like i used to and am unsure what to do. Thanks in advance
Have you considered using AWS SES and AWS Lambda to forward your emails?
First, you need to verify your domain - Amazon SES Domain Verification TXT Records
Second, create an S3 bucket with a unique and meaningful name. This will be used to store emails, for example ascisolutions.com-emails . Create a folder inside this bucket to store emails.
Third, create a Lambda function to forward the emails. See AWS Lambda SES Email Forwarder for files needed for AWS Lambda and instructions how to set it up as it requires to modify a config file.
Next, you need to create a rule set - Creating a Receipt Rule Set for Amazon SES Email Receiving
After that, you need to create a rule in the new rule set to let SES know what to do with the email that it received - Creating Receipt Rules for Amazon SES Email Receiving
Next, you want to update your MX records - Publishing an MX Record for Amazon SES Email Receiving
When you're done, wait a few minutes for DNS to update and then test to see if email forwarding is working.
Hope this was helpful.
I'm relatively new to AWS, but I am trying to figure out how to get AWS to receive emails. According this post How to configure email accounts like support#xyz.com or feedback#xyz.com on AWS SES only handles outbound email.
What I am hoping to achieve is the ability to filter aliases. For example, if the alias is "xyz12alias", then any email sent to "xyz12alias#mydomain.co", can see the email and process the content appropriately. Which in my case will be storing it in account associated with the filter.
Can anybody direct me to a strategy or service within AWS that would allow me to implement inbound email on Amazon AWS?
https://postmarkapp.com/inbound appears to give me what I want, but is there anything within the AWS framework itself? Are there alternate services to postmarkapp?
Thanks.
Amazon Simple Email Service just introduced incoming e-mail support:
https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2015/09/amazon-ses-now-supports-inbound-email/
In addition to offering a scalable, cost-effective email-sending
platform, Amazon SES can now accept your incoming emails. You can
configure Amazon SES to deliver your messages to an Amazon S3 bucket,
call your custom code via an AWS Lambda function, or publish
notifications to Amazon SNS. You can also configure Amazon SES to drop
or bounce messages you do not want to receive. If you choose to store
your messages in Amazon S3, Amazon SES can encrypt your mail using AWS
Key Management Service (KMS) before writing it to the bucket.
You configure all of these actions by defining receipt rules, which
you set up by using the Amazon SES console or the Amazon SES API.
Receipt rules enable a single message to trigger multiple actions.
Your rules can be as broad or as specific as you choose because you
can configure them to apply to specific email addresses or entire
domains.
You can also use receipt rules to control which messages Amazon SES
can accept on your behalf. Another filtering method is to set up
custom IP address block lists and allow lists. If you know that you
don’t want to receive mail originating from a particular IP address
range, simply add it to your account's IP address block list. You can
also override block lists by adding IP address ranges to your allow
list, which provides fine-grained control over your inbound email
traffic.
You'd have to set up your own server; that's the way to handle it using AWS. They don't provide anything other than their bulk email delivery service. A few links below:
http://jeffreifman.com/how-to-install-your-own-private-e-mail-server-in-the-amazon-cloud-aws/
http://cerebellumstrategies.com/2012/04/15/amazon-linux-postfix-dovecot/
Update: there is now a solution available in AWS, as referenced in the comments below.
Still doesn't appear to be possible on SES. I'd recommend looking at Mandrill and Sendgrid though.

Here is how to use Amazon and any virtual server to deliver email from SES to a local IMAP account.
This plan is about stable operations: every step is under our control.
Have SES receive emails
And deliver to an S3 bucket and send notification to a SNS topic
Subscribe to that notification with HTTPS protocol
Use aws/aws-php-sns-message-validator and write a small PHP script to reveive notifications from SNS through HTTPS
SNS only sends messaged ID-s, put those in a file
Install incron on your server to start a shell script that downloads those messages from the S3 bucket by s3cmd and delivers to the local IMAP account by sendmail
Use any IMAP server, I use Courier IMAP
Read your messages with e.g. Rainloop webmail
Use SES also for sending outgoing emails
When using AWS SES inbound mail support, main challenge is that, it fits well for programmatic tasks, but hardly human readable since it receives in raw message delivered format.
You you can setup a S3 bucket, SNS Topic (Which could again links to Email, SMS & etc.), Lambda to forward the inbound mail with the same format it receives to take any programmatic actions based on the content of the email.
If you want read the message in human readable format, you need to write your own code to do the formatting. For example using Serverless lambda SES forwarder includes, NodeJS code runs in Lambda to convert raw email to human readable format and forward to recipient email.
I try to use AWS SES for handle some app data on get email.
I've verified mydomain.com with AWS SES. I want handle dynamic email to addresses 1#mydomain.com 2#mydoamin.com, where 1,2 id from database.
I want handle it with AWS lambda, but I can not do it because I get:
550 5.1.1 Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable
Is there any way to bypass the creation of mailboxes?
How can I change to email address via SES, for send all emails to one pre existed mailbox?
Make sure your MX records are correctly setup and propagated.
To check, navigate to your domain's Hosted zone in Route 53, and you should have the MX records like:
10 inbound-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com
20 inbound-smtp.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com
30 inbound-smtp.us-west-2.amazonaws.com
See also: Amazon WorkMail account failing to receive email
First of all, you need to make sure you have your email domain verified under Identity Management - Domains in AWS Console.
After that, you have to verify your RuleSet is active. This means under Email Receiving - Rule Sets - View Active Rule Set you have to see your rule using the defined domain.
In your particular case:
Verify domain mydoamin.com
Check if the Active Rule Set really contains the SES rules for 1#mydoamin.com and .2#mydoamin.com
The error
550 5.1.1 Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable
is not an AWS Lambda or AWS SES issue. It is an issue on the receiving end of the email. The problem is that there is no one on the receiving end of 1#mydomain.com to receive the email.
Lambda and SES cannot avoid the issue. To handle the issue, you must resolve it on the receiving end by:
creating an inbox, or
setting up aliases, or
wild-card the emails to a default inbox
The technical steps to accomplish this will depend on your receiving-end mail server.
I ran into this problem while setting up email forwarding from one address to another, and ultimately realised that when the SES rule set instructions asked for a 'recipient' email address, it was not the address I was forwarding emails to, but actually the initial email address that was receiving the email.
I was getting same error.
My problem was RuleSets.
SES>Email receiving>Rules Sets.
There should be rules here that allows your mail ID or any mail to your domain.
Encountered the same problem. While my domain was verified with SES I needed to create an SES identity. After creating the identity everything on https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/ses-receive-inbound-emails/ worked as expected.
