Amazon SES Mail Manager adds new features for enhanced security and email processing

Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) Mail Manager now offers enhancements to email security and processing while simplifying email infrastructure migrations. These enhancements include optional TLS and certificate-based authentication (mTLS) support in Ingress Endpoint, and two new rule actions: Invoke Lambda function and Bounce.

These enhancements benefit organizations seeking to maintain compatibility with legacy systems while implementing stronger security controls, and advanced email routing capabilities. For example customers can now configure STARTTLS as an optional TLS configuration, enabling legacy systems that don't support STARTTLS to connect to Mail Manager. With Mutual TLS (mTLS) in Ingress Endpoint customers can now used certificate-based authentication for enhanced security. The Invoke Lambda function rule action allows direct invocation of AWS Lambda functions from rule sets, enabling custom email processing workflows and the Bounce rule action provides RFC-compliant SMTP responses to sending servers.

These new enhancements are available today in all AWS Regions where Amazon SES Mail Manager is offered, except for the Middle East (UAE) and Middle East (Bahrain) regions.
