Mail Manager for Amazon SES - Amazon Simple Email Service

Mail Manager for Amazon SES

Mail Manager is a set of Amazon SES email gateway features designed to help you strengthen your organization's email infrastructure, simplify email workflow management, and streamline email compliance control. It integrates with your existing infrastructure, can connect different business applications, and automates inbound email processing. Mail Manager also acts as a first line of defense in maintaining a healthy email system by efficiently managing your email traffic and enhancing compliance with its email archival capability.

Along with current Amazon SES capabilities, Mail Manager consists of the following features that support inbound traffic:

  • Ingress endpoint – A key infrastructure component that utilizes filtering polices and rules that you can configure to determine which emails should be allowed into your organization and which ones should be rejected.

  • Traffic policies and rule sets – Enable email administrators to define and enforce rules for managing inbound email traffic with highly customizable polices and rules that can sort, categorize, prioritize, and perform actions on emails based on a rich set of conditions and exceptions you define. This intelligent filtering combined with automated workflows helps to streamline email management, enhance efficiency, and ensure compliance with your organizational email policies.

  • SMTP relay – Redirects email traffic to other SMTP servers based on criteria you define in rules by connecting internal email systems, and streamlines email management with automatic forwarding. Being able to distribute traffic across multiple servers and gateways enables your organization to manage high volume email traffic effectively, even in hybrid environments.

  • Email archiving – Saves and protects your emails by storing data in persistent and secure long-term storage, and gives you a way to quickly search and archive email. It provides full-time, enterprise-level archiving without increasing the storage requirements of your mailbox server.

  • Email Add Ons – A collection of specialized security tools from SES approved providers that can be used to manage email coming into your ingress endpoint as well as providing routing options based on security results. These tools are certified security intelligence and enforcement solutions that are ready to be integrated into your email workflow and can be activated directly from the Mail Manager console.
