Which email address to use when receiving Email via AWS SES

We want to trigger a lambda through an email.For this we have created SES rule with action as lambda, verfied domain and recipients.

     send email ---> SES rule ---> Lambda

My doubt is where i should send email from verified address to trigger this rule.I mean to which email address i should send email?

I think that while You were writing SES rule You mean SES Receipt Rule. While setting the receipt rule, you are configuring the actions which occur after the email was sent TO the provided recipients(in Your example it was to Your domain). So in order to trigger lambda function one of the ways to do it is to:

  1. Send an email using your verified address email to different account(for instance gmail one etc.)

  2. Reply to it (it will trigger rule)

case 1 :

If you have verified domain you can trigger email using any one of email address from your verified domain

case 2 :

If you dont have verified domain you can verify your email address in aws ses console and you can use verified email address to trigger lamda

From Step 4: Send a Test Email - Amazon Simple Email Service:

To send a test email, use an email account that you know is capable of sending email, such as your personal email address. Send a test message to any email address on your verified domain. For example, if your domain is example.com, you can send an email to [email protected] or [email protected] (or any other address on the example.com domain).
