Very good point about sending test e-mails, which also reminds me of the next friendly reminder: SES has a Mailbox Simulator [0] where you can send e-mails to specific e-mail addresses and check the notifications you receive, e.g., bounces. If you're using the SNS notifications [1], these notifications will be JSON objects [2]; you can then use a notification to extract the information needed, e.g. a bouncing e-mail address to be stored in a local registry in case of a bounce notification.
