> I’m using AWS’s Simple Email Service (SES) to send and receive emails, S3 for storage, and Lambda functions for serverless computing. Here’s how it works:

> All received emails trigger SES to store the email as a file in a S3 bucket, which triggers a Lambda function. Depending on the email, one of several things could happen:

> 1. The email gets forwarded to your personal email address > 2. The email gets forwarded to the original sender (when you reply) > 3. A command is invoked by you (e.g. to generate a new alias) > 4. Nothing happens (when someone emails an invalid/disabled alias)

> I chose to use AWS for practical reasons: I’m totally new to cloud computing, and AWS being the most popular cloud computing service means it is easier to find guides and resources online.
