Amazon ses mail from domain

To send emails from a custom domain using Amazon SES, you'll need to follow these steps:

Step 1: Verify your domain

  1. Log in to the Amazon SES dashboard and navigate to the "Domains" tab.
  2. Click on "Verify a New Domain" and enter your custom domain (e.g., example.com).
  3. Amazon SES will provide you with a TXT record that you need to add to your domain's DNS settings.

Step 2: Add the TXT record to your domain's DNS settings

  1. Log in to your domain registrar's control panel (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.).
  2. Find the DNS settings for your domain and add a new TXT record with the following settings:
    • Host: _amazonses
    • Value: The TXT record provided by Amazon SES
    • TTL: Leave it as the default value (usually 3600 seconds)
  3. Save the changes to your DNS settings.

Step 3: Verify your domain ownership

  1. Go back to the Amazon SES dashboard and navigate to the "Domains" tab.
  2. Click on the "Verify" button next to your custom domain.
  3. Amazon SES will send a verification email to the email address associated with your domain (e.g., [email protected]).
  4. Open the verification email and click on the verification link to confirm your domain ownership.

Step 4: Set up your Amazon SES email sending configuration

  1. In the Amazon SES dashboard, navigate to the "Email sending" tab.
  2. Click on "Create a new email sending configuration" and enter your custom domain as the "From domain".
  3. Choose the email sending configuration that best suits your needs (e.g., "Simple email sending" or "Dedicated email sending").
  4. Configure any additional settings as needed (e.g., SPF, DKIM, etc.).

Step 5: Use your custom domain in your email sending code

  1. Update your email sending code to use your custom domain as the "From" address.
  2. Make sure to include the necessary headers and authentication information in your email messages.

That's it! With these steps, you should be able to send emails from your custom domain using Amazon SES.
