Store your bounced email notifications from AWS SES in an S3 bucket
Hello.
We recently setup AWS SES at Inato and I had issues getting information about bounced emails. As i figured out how to do it, I ended up writing a complete guide on how to store the notifications provided by AWS (for bounced, complaint and delivery notifications) in an S3 bucket, using SNS and lambda. You can follow this guide to store the notifications anywhere you need, only the lambda's code has to be updated.

Hope it helps!
- gabsn 6y agoGreat article, thx!
- raxxorrax 6y agoGreat, thank you. We use SES to send some mails but didn't have any bounces yet, but that is only a matter of time. It is a b2b app where users have to enter the recipient manually. Not sure how hard Amazon penalises bounces, but the low amount of mails we send can destroy the statistic if we have just one or a few more bounces.
- vinassefranche 6y agoI think that as long as you tell AWS that you have a process to handle the bounces, it's not a big issue. This is where my guide is handful. Getting information on the bounces is part of the way to handle them correctly!
