Followed the guide, only AMAZON_SES_SETUP_NOTIFICATION shows in bucket #143

So the only thing I see is that some item AMAZON_SES_SETUP_NOTIFICATION, shows in the bucket. The lambda isn't triggering, I keep emailing to the contact@email without success. Any idea what's going on?

I did test the lambda function, I've used index.js with node V 16, it does run on the test event (but fails since I don't have the format). When emailing to it from my gmail I 530 Authentication required

I don't know why you're getting a 530, but I was getting 550's until I discovered one glitch that I don't think is mentioned in the guide: I had to open up the SES 'Email Receiving', then open up the rule set I had created... and click the "Set as Active" button. Once I did that, I suddenly started seeing test messages in my bucket, and could get down to debugging the Lambda.

(FWIW, there is an SES-standard event available in the Lambda test templates: just create a new event and search for the "SES Email Receiving" option.)

Thanks! I ended up just moving to their native work email service.

It would be good to have the documentation updated before closing this..
