Email receiving only allowed from 3 regions #136

This is more of a documentation request... I have most of my AWS running in California (us-west-1). So I created the lambda and followed the instructions until I got to the section on email receiving rules. The SES > Configuration > Email Receiving option wasn't there. Email receiving is only supported in three regions:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/dg/regions.html#region-endpoints

The lambda has to exist in the same region to be used in an email rule, so I had to move it over.

@lowrykun Thanks for reporting this issue. I'm planning to add the following to the documentation. Let me know if you have any suggestions or corrections.

SES only allows receiving email in certain regions (at the time of writing: us-east-1, us-east-2, and eu-west-1), and the Lambda script must be created in the same region as SES receives email. See: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/dg/regions.html#region-endpoints
