Unable to receive email in AWS SES using SNS and Lambda

I'm trying to receive email in SES using SNS and a Lambda function.

I have verified [email protected] as an email address in SES and I have created a rule set with [email protected] as the recipient and an SNS topic as the action. The rule set is enabled.

The Lambda is subscribed to the SNS topic and when I send a test message in the AWS console on the topic, I can see in CloudWatch that the Lambda got the message.

However, when I send an email to [email protected], the Lambda doesn't get the email.

Any ideas?

Below are some related code/config:

SES verified email
Receipt rule action
SNS topic access policy

{
  "Version": "2008-10-17",
  "Id": "__default_policy_ID",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Sid": "__default_statement_ID",
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Principal": {
        "AWS": "*"
      },
      "Action": [
        "SNS:GetTopicAttributes",
        "SNS:SetTopicAttributes",
        "SNS:AddPermission",
        "SNS:RemovePermission",
        "SNS:DeleteTopic",
        "SNS:Subscribe",
        "SNS:ListSubscriptionsByTopic",
        "SNS:Publish",
        "SNS:Receive"
      ],
      "Resource": "arn:aws:sns:eu-west-1:my-account-id:EmailImagesStack-TopicBFC7AF6E-8ZD350QFNU12",
      "Condition": {
        "StringEquals": {
          "AWS:SourceOwner": "my account id"
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

Solution

Receive mail in SES require some prerequisites describes in here.

Verify your domain with Amazon SES by publishing DNS records to prove that you own it.

Permit Amazon SES to receive email for your domain by publishing an MX record.

Give Amazon SES permission to access other AWS resources in order to execute receipt rule actions.

I guess you don't owning domain gmail.com, so SES can not receive mail for you from [email protected].
