AWS – SES Mail Manager adds Debug Logging for traffic policies
Today, Simple Email Service (SES) Mail Manager announces the addition of a Debug logging level for Mail Manager traffic policies. This new logging level provides more detailed visibility on incoming connections to a customer’s Mail Manager ingress endpoint and makes it easier to troubleshoot delivery challenges quickly, using familiar event destinations such as Cloudwatch, Kinesis, and S3.
With Debug level logs, customers can now log every possible evaluation and action within a Mail Manager traffic policy, along with envelope data for the email message being evaluated for traffic permission. This enables customers to determine whether their traffic policy is working as expected or to isolate incoming message parameters which are not covered by the current configuration. When used in conjunction with rules engine logging, debug logging for traffic policies charts a full picture of message arrival into Mail Manager and its disposition by the rules engine. Debug logging for traffic policies is intended to be used during active troubleshooting but otherwise left disabled, as its output can be verbose for high-volume Mail Manager instances. While SES does not charge an additional fee for this logging feature, customers may incur costs from their chosen event destination.
Debug logging for traffic policies is available in all 17 AWS non-opt-in Regions within the AWS commercial partition. To learn more about Mail Manager logging options, see the SES Mail Manager Logging Guide.
