Problem with SNS Notifications

edited April 2013 in Troubleshooting

I have set the SNS notifications up per the Getting Started documentation but their SubscriptionID is PendingConfirmation. We use SNS quite a bit for our other systems and this usually means that notifications will not be sent to that subscriber. I checked the access log for apache and didn't see a request come in for bounce.php. Am I missing a step?

We are running Ubuntu 12.10 with the following packages installed
mysql-server, mysql-client, apache2, php5, libapache2-mod-php5, php5-mysql, php5-curl, gettext

  • Also, when I try to validate the complaint/bounce it fails saying they are not setup. I get the notifications via a second subscription I set up for email.

    {"notificationType":"Complaint","complaint":{"userAgent":"Amazon SES Mailbox Simulator","complainedRecipients":[{"emailAddress":"complaint@simulator.amazonses.com"}],"complaintFeedbackType":"abuse","timestamp":"2013-04-01T18:43:51.000Z","feedbackId":"0000013dc6e99dea-1928b3f5-9afc-11e2-82b9-499735179738-000000"},"mail":{"timestamp":"2013-04-01T18:43:51.000Z","source":"Sendy xxx@xxx.xxx","messageId":"0000013dc6e99ba1-6438d349-e5a6-4d4a-9a10-ac3a56c3e2df-000000","destination":["complaint@simulator.amazonses.com"]}}

    and

    {"notificationType":"Bounce","bounce":{"reportingMTA":"dns; b232-135.smtp-out.amazonses.com","bounceType":"Permanent","bouncedRecipients":[{"emailAddress":"bounce@simulator.amazonses.com","status":"5.0.0","diagnosticCode":"smtp; 5.1.0 - Unknown address error 550-'5.1.1 user unknown' (delivery attempts: 0)","action":"failed"}],"bounceSubType":"General","timestamp":"2013-04-01T18:43:26.000Z","feedbackId":"0000013dc6e99d20-1909e11d-9afc-11e2-8bc7-8523e9baf2fa-000000"},"mail":{"timestamp":"2013-04-01T18:43:51.000Z","source":"Sendy xxx@xxx.xxx","messageId":"0000013dc6e99a86-48e2104b-2532-470c-af81-dd34f5193242-000000","destination":["bounce@simulator.amazonses.com"]}}

    So I know the email address is setup, but the bounce/complaint do not seem to be working properly

  • And now I shall answer my own question....

    Security Group blocked access to my apache port, so SNS couldn't send the request to my EC2 instance. Working now.
