block sending email to a specific address

Hi emyabdel,

You can use the account-level suppression list to prevent sending email to addresses that previously produced a bounce or complaint event. When Amazon SES adds an address to your account-level suppression list, it remains there permanently (or until you delete it manually).

You can find more information about setting up the account-level suppression list at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/sending-email-suppression-list.html.

Hope this helps. Thanks for using Amazon SES!

Thanks for your replay. I know just the global suppression list it's the first time I know about the Account-Level Suppression List. My Amazon SES is created before November 25, 2019 so I don't have it by default. This tutorial is very complicated for me, is there an easiest tutorial to learn how to configure the account-level suppression list?

Hi,

I am also new to Amazon. I found this videos helpful:

This blog also explain how to install: https://cloudacademy.com/blog/how-to-use-aws-cli/

Once you finish installing AWS CLI, at the command line, enter the following command to create the Account-Level Suppression List:

aws sesv2 put-account-suppression-attributes --suppressed-reasons BOUNCE COMPLAINT

You get more commands and info here:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/sending-email-suppression-list.html

I hope it helps!

Ah, thanks so much, the tutorial that you gave me was easy and it's configured now. I have just a last question: if there's a bounce, the email address is added automatically to the account level suppression list or I should add it manually?

Yes, bounces and complaints are added automatically to the list.

You must be aware that Gmail doesn't provide complaint data to Amazon SES. If a recipient uses the Spam button in the Gmail web client to report a message that they receive from you as spam, they aren't added to the account-level suppression list.

When you send for the fist time, you can check if Amazon SES is adding complaints and bounces with this command:

aws sesv2 list-suppressed-destinations

And you will get something like this, with all the mails added by Amazon SES: (I have only one in my list)

C:\>aws sesv2 list-suppressed-destinations
{
    "SuppressedDestinationSummaries": [
        {
            "EmailAddress": "info@domain.net",
            "Reason": "BOUNCE",
            "LastUpdateTime": 1587170927.661
        }
    ]
}
C:\
