I currently have a SES rule setup to PUT all emails received from a Route 53 verified domain and email into an S3 bucket. This works great so far, however, my goal is to forward all emails received by an existing Microsoft email to this Amazon email.
I created a forwarding rule within Outlook to forward these emails to the Amazon email but I see two objects being placed into the S3 bucket for every forwarded email. One object is the correct email and its content while the other object looks to be data associated with requesting a read receipt (saying "Delivery to these recipients or groups is complete, but no delivery notification was sent by the destination server").
I would like to only receive the email content in the S3 bucket and not have to process the read receipt request sent from forwarding the email from Outlook.
I see two solutions:
- Stop Microsoft from requesting read receipts from automatically forwarded emails
- Setup a S3 Action to reject emails that appear to be the read receipt request and set the position to occur before the PUT into S3 action occurs.
Solution 1 seems to be preferable, but I haven't been able to find out how to stop Microsoft from requesting read receipts on forwarded emails. Has anyone been able to solve this issue?
