How to setup email forwarding with own domain on Amazon EC2?

Question

I have a hard time understanding how I could setup e-mail forwarding on Amazon EC2 for my own domain, meaning how I can forward every email sent to [email protected] to my personal email address.

I'm using Amazon SES for sending emails. But what about incoming e-mails - is there any simpler way than setting up a complete e-mail server? As I'm using IP forwarding for my domain, I can't set up email forwarding with my domain provider.

I know this is kind of a general question.. I'd appreciate any help that points me in the right direction!

Answer 1

Use a mail forwarding service. Eg. improvmx.com

It allows you to forward emails directed at your domain to any email address of your choice. All you have to do is add an MX record for your domain to point to improvmx.

And its free.
