SES feedback verification

Question

I am currently developing an application that sends emails based on events. For this purpose, I am utilizing AWS SES as the email sending service, as it allows for the inclusion of an HTML body and potential attachments.

The email is sent via a lambda function, which first places it in an SQS queue, and subsequently forwards it to SES.

Is it feasible to obtain feedback regarding the successful handling of the email by SES? Alternatively, could I query SES after a specified number of minutes to confirm that the email has been processed?

Answer

You can set up [SES Event Publishing](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/dg/monitor-using-event-publishing.html), to publish events to one or more of the following destinations: Amazon CloudWatch, Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose, Amazon Pinpoint, Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS).

You could, for example, publish events to a Kinesis Data Firehose, which writes the events to an Amazon S3 bucket. You could then query the events using Amazon Athena.
