Email receiving

Create a receipt rule set with rules and actions (actions can be found in the @aws-cdk/aws-ses-actions package):

import * as s3 from '@aws-cdk/aws-s3';
import * as actions from '@aws-cdk/aws-ses-actions';

const bucket = new s3.Bucket(this, 'Bucket');
const topic = new sns.Topic(this, 'Topic');

new ses.ReceiptRuleSet(this, 'RuleSet', {
  rules: [
    {
      recipients: ['[e-mail]'],
      actions: [
        new actions.AddHeader({
          name: 'X-Special-Header',
          value: 'aws',
        }),
        new actions.S3({
          bucket,
          objectKeyPrefix: 'emails/',
          topic,
        }),
      ],
    },
    {
      recipients: ['aws.com'],
      actions: [
        new actions.Sns({
          topic,
        }),
      ],
    },
  ],
});

Alternatively, rules can be added to a rule set:

const ruleSet = new ses.ReceiptRuleSet(this, 'RuleSet');

const awsRule = ruleSet.addRule('Aws', {
  recipients: ['aws.com'],
});

And actions to rules:

import * as actions from '@aws-cdk/aws-ses-actions';

declare const awsRule: ses.ReceiptRule;
declare const topic: sns.Topic;
awsRule.addAction(new actions.Sns({
  topic,
}));

When using addRule, the new rule is added after the last added rule unless after is specified.

Drop spams

A rule to drop spam can be added by setting dropSpam to true:

new ses.ReceiptRuleSet(this, 'RuleSet', {
  dropSpam: true,
});

This will add a rule at the top of the rule set with a Lambda action that stops processing messages that have at least one spam indicator. See Lambda Function Examples.

Receipt filter

Create a receipt filter:

new ses.ReceiptFilter(this, 'Filter', {
  ip: '1.2.3.4/16', // Will be blocked
});

An allow list filter is also available:

new ses.AllowListReceiptFilter(this, 'AllowList', {
  ips: [
    '10.0.0.0/16',
    '1.2.3.4/16',
  ],
});

This will first create a block all filter and then create allow filters for the listed ip addresses.
