Is it possible to create a workmail "catch-all" account

Question

So I have a domain that I am working with and created a WorkMail Organization for. The need is for any email sent to the domain, regardless of the address it is sent to. Is this something that is possible for this system?

I was hoping I could do something like create a group with the alias *@domainname.com, but that is not allowed for the system. Is this something I should do in SES instead of WorkMail? If so, any suggestions as I am having trouble finding any examples or use cases.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as this seems to be a need for the larger system we are building, and to ensure nothing gets lost.

Workmail doesn't support wildcards (or catch-all) natively, but with help of SES and Lambda you can build the feature. Here is an example how to do this

here's a similar solution. A serverless email forwarding solution for Amazon WorkMail that captures all emails to any *@domain.com address and forwards them to a central inbox. Utilizes SES for inbound email, S3 for raw storage, and Lambda for logic and MIME-safe forwarding. Fully contained within AWS with no external dependencies:
