I am using SES for a number of servers just for cron emails and the like, the odd bit of other email. I have a problematic server and the lack of logs is absolutely doing my head in now, soooo couple of questions.
Is there any way to get detailed SMTP logs from SES, I can’t see any way of doing this and I have done some googling and everything.
Should I just setup a postfix VPS that takes emails from all these servers and just forwards them to SES so I get some information / logs, quite a lot of work to reconfigure the servers, but ultimately more control / logs / configurable.
Change my relay to use something totally different, I went to SES after MXRoute.io went away so it was a bit of an impulse move.
You can configure SES to log and report any activity it does (bounces, complaints, deliveries) with full info for each email, to your SNS topics:
A SNS topic can notify your platform via https json requests, or send you emails, etc. This would happen every time something new is posted onto a SNS topic, ie: every time your SES sends an email, gets a bounce, or gets a complaint.
