ExtensionFields -> (list)

Additional X-headers to include in the DSN.

(structure)

Additional X-headers to include in the Delivery Status Notification (DSN) when an email that Amazon SES receives on your behalf bounces.

Value -> (string)

The value of the header to add. Must be less than 2048 characters, and must not contain newline characters (“r” or “n”).

Shorthand Syntax:

ReportingMta=string,ArrivalDate=timestamp,ExtensionFields=[{Name=string,Value=string},{Name=string,Value=string}]

JSON Syntax:

{
  "ReportingMta": "string",
  "ArrivalDate": timestamp,
  "ExtensionFields": [
    {
      "Name": "string",
      "Value": "string"
    }
    ...
  ]
}

--bounced-recipient-info-list (list)

For information about receiving email through Amazon SES, see the Amazon SES Developer Guide .

Recipient -> (string)

The email address of the recipient of the bounced email.

RecipientArn -> (string)

This parameter is used only for sending authorization.

BounceType -> (string)

The reason for the bounce. You must provide either this parameter or RecipientDsnFields .

RecipientDsnFields -> (structure)

Recipient-related DSN fields, most of which would normally be filled in automatically when provided with a BounceType . You must provide either this parameter or BounceType .

FinalRecipient -> (string)

The email address that the message was ultimately delivered to. This corresponds to the Final-Recipient in the DSN. If not specified, FinalRecipient will be set to the Recipient specified in the BouncedRecipientInfo structure. Either FinalRecipient or the recipient in BouncedRecipientInfo must be a recipient of the original bounced message.

Note

Do not prepend the FinalRecipient email address with rfc 822; , as described in RFC 3798 .

Action -> (string)

--bounce-sender-arn (string)

This parameter is used only for sending authorization. It is the ARN of the identity that is associated with the sending authorization policy that permits you to use the address in the “From” header of the bounce. For more information about sending authorization, see the Amazon SES Developer Guide .

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean) Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Output¶

MessageId -> (string)

The message ID of the bounce message.
