I am trying to send email message to a specific email address via the aws pinpoint. My from email address is verified. However, whenever I try to send the email it gives me an error "Failed to submit email message to ". I don't understand where am I going wrong with this.
#Krishna gave the right clue, however to be precise, all of the following must be true:
Your From email address is verified in Amazon Pinpoint/SES.
Either your To email address(es) is verified, OR you have requested Sending Limit Increase specifically for Amazon Pinpoint, not just SES.
In my case it was problem no. 2, I have increased my sending limit for SES but not Pinpoint yet. Amazon treats them somewhat differently, however the error message it gave me was totally undecipherable:
Message not sent: We weren't able to send your email message to someemail#gmail.com. Request Id 982 : Failed to send message.
Specifically, check the Pinpoint project's right sidebar here:
By default Pinpoint provides an sandbox environment.
In order to send emails you need to white-list your from email address as well. ( i.e. got to SES and verify the from email id as well)
You should them be able to send emails via Pinpoint.
The receiver should acknowledge to terms and condition that AWS can send automated emails.

I want to be able to send messages using SES. My sender's email is noreply#mydomain.com . The domain and sender's email are verified identities in SES. Now whenever my app sends an email, I don't want the receiver to be able to reply to the email I sent. How can I configure the sender email so that it never receives an email as reply from the user?
Ok so this is going to sound simple but follow this guide. There is one step though I struggled with which I got lost for hours on. Guide
Make sure when you're creating the MX record, you need to add the inbound SMTP as well as the normal email smtp.
10 inbound-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com
11 email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com
You need to add both in order to receive email as well. Then, your rule sets will work as intended.
I am currently using AWS SES to send emails to my users. However, it appears that my users who use outlook / Microsoft's Business Email System are not receiving my emails. SES also tells me that I have no bounces too.
The user's email has {name}.onmicrosoft.com on it.
How can I go about resolving this?
EDIT: Found out that the key phrase "password" is a root cause for the email being blocked and not showing up at all. Not sure how to combat this as I am sending a password reset email.
Thanks
My main goal is to setup an email address for my server to use for sending emails only.
I did some research, and it looked like Amazon Simple Email Server and/or Amazon Workmail could provide me with what I needed. I've gotten as far as setting up SES and Workmail so that I can set my server to be able to send emails. However, I saw that once the Workmail inbox is full (50GB), the account would be unable to send emails. Given that this is going to be used by the server and not a human, I didn't want the inbox to get filled with auto replies, spam, or failed to send messages, and then be unable to send emails. So, I went looking for a way to either:
A) prevent emails from being received and stored in the inbox
B) a rule I could setup to delete anything that didn't match the company domain
C) be able to read the inbox and delete email messages using the AWS CLI, and I'd setup my own script to manage how and what was deleted when
So far I haven't had any luck.
Again, I'm not particular how I achieve the goal, but I do preferably need to find a way to have an email address for a server to use exclusively for sending messages. I worry that if I leave it to employees to remember to login and clear the inbox, someone will forget, and then the server will stop sending emails.
Any direction or advice would be greatly appreciated.
I'm not well versed in email protocols; could I setup the address to return a bounce back always, and that would prevent it from receiving emails into it's inbox?
How are you generating these emails? If you are generating them programmatically (via an app/script), you may not need to set up a server. If you just route the outgoing mail through your app to SNS, the emails will be valid, however, there will be no "inbox" for incoming mail and they will just be dumped. This way you don't have to actually worry about an inbox getting full as it will just drop anything coming in.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/receiving-email.html
In order to receive emails though SNS, you have to go through the setup linked above, but if you do not set this up, then emails will just bounce. At least, that is how I have been doing it.
I'm trying to use the Amazon SES sendTemplatedEmail function.
I have:
verified the sending domain
verified various emails (company, google, gmx)
am in the sandbox
created all the templates
send test emails and verification emails and they went through
I do:
send out emails to the same email as the sender and receive a valid message id
to a company email and receive a valid message id
to a google email and receive a valid message id
to a gmx email and receive a valid message id
No emails are getting delivered and none occur in the send statistics.
What can I do now in order to debug that?
Update
I found a "RenderingFailure" in CloudWatch, and that hints to the error. I can't find the actual error, though.
Took me a while to finally debug this.
I ran this command to test out the template rendering:
aws ses test-render-template --template-name myTemplate --template-data "{\"key\":\"value\"}"
This finally showed me what was wrong (I referenced a {{token}} which wasn't defined in my template-data.
If anyone at AWS is reading this please either default to an empty string or at least show an error message while sending!
This is called Rendering Failure which happens when the template data you passed doesn't match with the template variables you have in your template. You can set SNS notification so that you get notified anytime this rendering failure occurs.
I have written a blog to tackle this. Please have a look at https://dev.to/nabinadhikari/aws-simple-email-service-caveat-5jn
I am having issues with sending email from a verified email.
(asking it here, as for some reason I can't ask in AWS forum)
Setup:
The email XXX.mydomain.com is verified.
domain mydomain.com is verified (in domain list).
I am testing through 'Send email Test' in AWS.
The sender (from) is the verified email.
When I send to +DDVVF#mydomain.com+, it's fine (email is sent).
When I send to a different email (my-client#other-domain.com), I get an error message, containing:
Email address is not verified. (Request ID:
73ee3c33-ef6b-11e5-a37e-e5f5988f938c)
Should I also verify the TO emails I want to send?
It doesn't seem scalable, as I don't want to verify each TO separately.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
It seems you are still in the sandbox , you need to log in request with AWS to move you to Production.
