Aws mail from domain

To set up AWS SES (Simple Email Service) to send emails from a custom domain, you'll need to follow these steps:

Step 1: Verify your domain

  1. Go to the AWS SES dashboard and click on "Domains" in the left-hand menu.
  2. Click on "Verify a New Domain".
  3. Enter your custom domain (e.g., example.com) and click "Verify".
  4. AWS 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 AWS SES
    • TTL: Leave it as the default value (usually 3600)
  3. Save the changes to your DNS settings.

Step 3: Verify your domain ownership

  1. Go back to the AWS SES dashboard and click on "Domains" in the left-hand menu.
  2. Click on the domain you just verified and click on "Verify Domain Ownership".
  3. AWS will send an email to the email address associated with your domain (e.g., [email protected]).
  4. Open the email and click on the verification link to confirm your domain ownership.

Step 4: Set up your email sending configuration

  1. Go to the AWS SES dashboard and click on "Email Sending" in the left-hand menu.
  2. Click on "Email Sending Settings" and select your verified domain.
  3. Configure your email sending settings, such as the sender email address, reply-to email address, and email content.

Step 5: Test your email sending

  1. Use the AWS SES test email feature to send a test email from your custom domain.
  2. Verify that the email is delivered successfully and that the recipient can reply to the email.

That's it! You should now be able to send emails from your custom domain using AWS SES.
