Amazon SES RuleSetDoesNotExist error when trying to send emails using Amazon SES.

The specified receipt rule set does not exist in the Amazon SES configuration.

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 that can be used to send emails from within any application.

Identifying the Symptom

When using Amazon SES, you might encounter the error message: RuleSetDoesNotExist. This error typically occurs when attempting to send emails, and it indicates that the specified receipt rule set is not found in the SES configuration.

Explaining the Issue

The RuleSetDoesNotExist error is triggered when the application tries to reference a receipt rule set that hasn't been created or has been deleted. Receipt rule sets are used to specify how incoming emails should be handled by Amazon SES. If the rule set specified in your request doesn't exist, SES cannot process the email as intended.

Common Scenarios

  • The rule set name is misspelled in the request.
  • The rule set was deleted or never created.
  • The rule set is not active.

Steps to Resolve the Issue

To resolve the RuleSetDoesNotExist error, follow these steps:

Step 1: Verify Rule Set Name

Ensure that the rule set name specified in your request is correct. Double-check for any typos or case sensitivity issues.

Step 2: Create or Activate the Rule Set

If the rule set does not exist, you need to create it. Follow these steps to create a new rule set:

  1. Log in to the AWS Management Console.
  2. Navigate to the Amazon SES console.
  3. In the navigation pane, choose Rule Sets.
  4. Click on Create Rule Set and follow the prompts to define your rules.
  5. Once created, ensure the rule set is active by selecting it and clicking Set as Active.

Step 3: Update Your Application

After creating or activating the rule set, update your application configuration to use the correct rule set name. This ensures that your application references the existing rule set.

Additional Resources

For more detailed information on managing receipt rule sets, refer to the Amazon SES Developer Guide.
