Connectivity to external SMTP server

Question

I want to be able to import all emails being received on an external SMTP server for an externally managed domain(say waffles.com).  
1. How do I ingest all the emails being received to all users of that waffles.com in my AWS S3 bucket? Assume that I am able to create a new user in that SMTP server with Admin right - how do I create a connection to that SMTP server so that all emails can be dumped in my bucket for post processing?  
  
Really appreciate if anyone can share any insights on what services to use, or any other idea that can help me achieve this. Thanks.

Hi samtheman,  
  
Assuming you're the owner of waffles.com, you just have to do a few things:  
1. Verify your domain in Amazon SES.  
2. Add an MX record to the DNS configuration for the domain.   
3. Set up a receipt rule in Amazon SES that sends incoming mail for the domain to your S3 bucket.  
  
You can find information about all of these steps in the Amazon SES Developer Guide at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/receiving-email-setting-up.html.  
  
Hope this helps. Thank you for using Amazon SES!
