How to setup email forwarding with own domain on Amazon EC2?

Question

I have a hard time understanding how I could set up e-mail forwarding on Amazon EC2 for my own domain, meaning how I can forward every email sent to [email protected] to my personal email address.

I'm using Amazon SES for sending emails. But what about incoming e-mails - is there any simpler way than setting up a complete e-mail server? As I'm using IP forwarding for my domain, I can't set up email forwarding with my domain provider.

I know this is kind of a general question. I'd appreciate any help that points me in the right direction!

Inbound email forwarding using Amazon SES is doable. Check out both the AWS documentation and the other link for better understanding.
