For Amazon SES: Using an API to receive the list of bounced emails?


Hello is there an Amazon SES API (or some kind of webhook) which allows us to see the list of bounced emails?

I know SNS exists but that costs extra.


Solution

  • From Amazon SES notifications sent by email - Amazon Simple Email Service:

    Amazon SES can send you email when you receive bounces and complaints by using a process called email feedback forwarding.

    In order to send email using Amazon SES, you must configure it to send bounce and complaint notifications by using one of the following methods:

    • By enabling email feedback forwarding
    • By sending notifications to an Amazon SNS topic
    • By publishing event notifications

    So, if you don't want to use an Amazon SNS topic (which is very low cost!), you could have them sent via email.
