Bounced e-mails from Amazon SES/SNS not working

dev

I was aware that Discourse offers an endpoint to handle SNS notifications from Amazon SES. The endpoint is /webhooks/aws, and here is where I got aware of it:

Everything is “almost” working. I can see that AWS is sending the notifications to that endpoint, via CloudWatch log. I also see that Discourse is responding the notification with successful status code (200), after I configured it to send the raw message.

However, the e-mail doesn’t appear in the list of “Bounced” e-mails in Discourse. Is there anything else I should do? How could I check some log that shows me what the endpoint effectively did after receiving the notification from AWS?

Ok, I was able to find the log about the failed request, but I’m still lost about what could this be?

Looks like it’s related to this: Encoding::UndefinedConversionError from ASCII-8BIT to UTF-8 · Issue #24 · karafka/sidekiq-backend · GitHub.

Discourse is passing the JSON received from Amazon SNS directly to Sidekiq, which in turn is not being able to handle it properly.

I also wonder why in webhooks_controller.rb all webhooks are calling process_bounce directly and the aws one is the only one which is enqueuing a job for processing it?
