How do we find out if an email has bounced? #37

Currently, there is no obvious way to find out if an email has bounced.

In the oxabs project we use send the SES notifications to SQS (via AWS SNS) and then listen for SQS messages in our app and handle delivery/bounce notifications.

It would be possible to add this functionality to this module but I think it could be outside of it's scope?

@roryc89 I reckon you're right. Whilst it's useful to have this answered here, this is more of a job for a separate dashboard than this module per se 👍

so how do we know that email was really sent to the person or not ? without this feature, the reliability of using this goes way down.

Hi @jpca999 absolutely. Knowing the send/bounce/open stats is super useful but beyond the scope of sendemail. AWS SES collects the stats behind the scenes and w have a Lambda function that keeps track of them and inserts them into a DB. Specifically: https://github.com/dwyl/aws-ses-lambda

Then we have a dashboard for viewing the stats: https://github.com/dwyl/email

i thought aws provide a tool similar to this , and the email will be sent back to the sender telling the email didn't go through just like the usual email.

but hey this looks great.
