Question

A company needs a solution to automate email ingestion. The company needs to automatically parse email messages, look for email attachments, and save any attachments to an Amazon S3 bucket in near real time. Email volume varies significantly from day to day. Which solution will meet these requirements?

Accepted Answer

**Answer A** satisfies every requirement:

1. **Automated email ingestion**: Amazon SES supports **email receiving** — it can accept incoming emails on verified domains. This is the native AWS service for programmatic email handling.

2. **Rule set and receipt rule**: SES uses **receipt rules** (organized in **rule sets**) to define what actions to take when an email arrives. Actions include invoking Lambda, saving to S3, sending to SNS, bouncing, etc.

3. **Parse email messages and extract attachments**: An **AWS Lambda function** invoked by SES receives the email content (or a reference to it stored in S3). Lambda can parse the MIME structure, extract attachments, and save them to an S3 bucket — all in custom code.

4. **Near real time**: SES invokes Lambda synchronously or asynchronousl
