To start using Amazon SES Mail Manager you can use the Get started with Mail Manager wizard in the Amazon SES console, where you'll create an ingress endpoint and configure it with a traffic policy and rule set.
An ingress endpoint is your first building block in setting up Mail Manager—it’s a key infrastructure component that utilizes:
-
Traffic policies – A traffic policy contains policy statements that you define to sort the incoming mail by allowing or blocking specific types of email when the policy statement’s conditions are met.
-
Rule sets – A rule set contains rules that you define to perform actions on the email you allow in when the rule’s conditions are met.
However, part of creating an ingress endpoint is selecting a traffic policy and a rule set that have already been created and then assigning them to the ingress endpoint. The steps in the following procedure will walk you through the correct order of configuring your first ingress endpoint.
