Amazon SES InvalidReceiptRuleSetName

The receipt rule set name is invalid or incorrectly formatted.

Understanding Amazon SES

Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) is a cloud-based email sending service designed to help digital marketers and application developers send marketing, notification, and transactional emails. It is a reliable, scalable, and cost-effective service for businesses of all sizes.

Identifying the Symptom

When working with Amazon SES, you might encounter the error InvalidReceiptRuleSetName. This error typically manifests when you attempt to create or modify receipt rules and the specified rule set name is not recognized by the system.

Common Error Message

The error message might look like this:

{
"Error": {
"Code": "InvalidReceiptRuleSetName",
"Message": "The receipt rule set name is invalid or incorrectly formatted."
}
}

Exploring the Issue

The InvalidReceiptRuleSetName error occurs when the name of the receipt rule set does not conform to the expected format or constraints. Amazon SES requires that rule set names follow specific guidelines, such as character limits and allowed characters.

Rule Set Name Constraints

  • Must be between 1 and 64 characters in length.
  • Can include letters (A-Z, a-z), numbers (0-9), underscores (_), and dashes (-).
  • Must not contain spaces or special characters.

Steps to Resolve the Issue

To resolve the InvalidReceiptRuleSetName error, follow these steps:

Step 1: Verify the Rule Set Name

Ensure that the rule set name you are using meets the required format and constraints. Check for any typos or invalid characters.

Step 2: Use the AWS Management Console

Navigate to the Amazon SES Console and verify the existing rule sets. Ensure that the rule set name you are trying to use is listed and correctly formatted.

Step 3: Update the Rule Set Name

If the rule set name is incorrect, update it using the AWS CLI or SDKs. For example, using the AWS CLI, you can update the rule set name as follows:

aws ses update-receipt-rule-set --rule-set-name "CorrectRuleSetName"
