SES Authorization Policy not working

Question

Hello, within SES sending mails is possible and working, but i would like to restrict the FROM address which is not working.
Even with a limiting(aws@example.com) sending authorization policy I can send with **any** FROM address.
Here is my Sending authorization policies:

```
{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Sid": "XXX",
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Principal": {
        "AWS": "arn:aws:iam::XXX:user/ses-smtp-userXXX"
      },
      "Action": "ses:SendRawEmail",
      "Resource": "arn:XXX:identity/XXX",
      "Condition": {
        "StringLike": {
          "ses:FromAddress": "aws@example.com"
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}
```
IAM policy:

```
{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": "ses:SendRawEmail",
            "Resource": "*"
        }
    ]
}
```
Do i have to set the condition also for the IAM policy? What is the better/right way for which use-case: IAM or sending authorization policy

Accepted Answer

Hi.

The default policy is allowed.  
You can allow only specific addresses by denying other than specific From addresses as shown below.

```
{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Sid": "XXX",
      "Effect": "Deny",
      "Principal": {
        "AWS": "arn:aws:iam::XXX:user/ses-smtp-userXXX"
      },
      "Action": "ses:SendRawEmail",
      "Resource": "arn:XXX:identity/XXX",
      "Condition": {
        "StringNotLike": {
          "ses:FromAddress": "aws@example.com"
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}
```
