Amazon ses and S3: Could not write to bucket

Question

Hi,

I followed the following documentation
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/dg/receiving-email-permissions.html#receiving-email-permissions-s3

However, I still receive the following message on ses:  
Unknown error
Request failed with unknown error, ensure that you have the necessary permissions and that all fields have correct values.

Server-side message: Could not write to bucket: xxxxx

I disabled the "block all public access" on S3 and the issue is still there. Both S3 and the ses has the same region. Check the attached for the permission policy, the red is where made my edits.

Accepted Answer

You have the word `region` in your `AWS:SourceArn`, the word *region* should be replaced by your region, like this:

`"AWS:SourceArn": "arn:aws:ses:eu-west-1:111122223333:receipt-rule-set/rule_set_name:receipt-rule/receipt_rule_name"`

You also need to add the `AWS:SourceAccount`, after the region. In the example above, the source account is `111122223333`.

Answer

I can offer you some other solutions hope these works

* If your bucket has default encryption enabled, SES must have permission to use the KMS key for that encryption.
* If you're specifying an object key prefix, ensure that it's correctly formatted. For example, if you're using a folder structure, make sure you're including the trailing slash.
