A Node.js script for AWS Lambda that uses AWS Simple Email Service (SES) inbound/outbound capabilities to run a serverless email forwarding service. It receives email via SES, processes it in Lambda, and forwards it to configured destination addresses without needing an email server.

Use cases

• forward email for a custom domain without running a mail server
• set up [email protected] aliases that redirect to a personal inbox
• replace an EC2 mail server with a serverless forwarding solution
• route SES-received emails stored in S3 to destination addresses
• manage multiple forwarding mappings for a verified domain

When to choose

• you already use AWS and want low-cost, maintenance-free email forwarding
• your domain is SES-verified and message sizes stay under 10 MB
• you want infrastructure-as-code-free, simple Lambda deployment

When to avoid

• you need full inbound mailbox storage or IMAP access
• you frequently receive emails over 10 MB with large attachments
• you cannot verify your domain in SES or are restricted by the SES sandbox
