Hello,

It seems that Email Receiving is only active in 3 AWS region (us-east-1, us-west-2 and eu-west-1). Are you in one of those regions?

Source: docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest...

Thanks !

Ah - I set it up in eu-north-1. That explains it then :-) Thank you!

Hm - still struggling with the email-part. Do I understand it correctly that you need to use AWS for MX for your domain to get SES to do what you need here?

Hello, yes it miss the MX declaration! Here is the detailed guide: docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/dg/.... It's not needed to use Route53, but only to declare an MX entry in your DNS:

10 inbound-smtp.regionInboundUrl.amazonaws.com
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

(replace regionInboundUrl by the AWS region you are using)
