SES - Limit sending emails from a single IP

Question

Good morning,

could someone explain to me how to limit sending emails (SES service) from a single IP?

Is there a procedure in this regard?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I’m not an SES expert, but as far as I know, it’s not possible to limit email sending directly from SES based on the sender’s IP. However, there are some workarounds you could consider:
- You can create a Lambda function to act as a filter for incoming requests. This function can check the source IP and decide whether to allow the email-sending process to proceed.
- Set up CloudWatch metrics and alarms to monitor the sending activity. While this won’t block IPs directly, it can help you identify unusual behavior and take manual or automated actions.

I hope this helps! 😊
