The complexity of setting up forwarding with AWS Simple Email Service/handling incoming messages without using their WorkMail is why I moved off it for my next project. There is no real option for this, although Amazon does provide a tutorial for rolling your own using a combination of S3 and a Lambda Function. [0] You'd think instead of creating a tutorial basically asking users to copy and paste their code, they may just want to add it as a feature.
In fact, I find almost everything on AWS overcomplicated. I ended up moving to a combination of MailJet for outgoing transactional mails and Zoho for incoming emails. This combination also happens to be free while in development.
