I've seen similar posts out there, but not quite the same thing that I'm asking.
I have a web site (www.example.com) hosted on an AWS EC2 instance. I want mail sent to "contactus@example.com" to go to several people, whose addresses may be of varying domains.
I tried setting up SES, but I need to "verify the address" (I have already verified the domain). But that "contactus" address is not a mailbox and currently does not forward to anyone, so there's no way I can verify it. I feel like this is a chicken and the egg problem.
I've read on here that mail relaying is a notably absent feature of AWS SES. I've seen Rube-Goldberg type solutions involving SES, Lamba and S3, but that seems needlessly complicated.
I simply want to "contactus@example.com" to forward mail to john@foo.com, bob@bar.com, etc... and I'm not committed to using SES; I am open to other solutions that can be run from the EC2 instance. How do I accomplish this?
Thank you in advance.
