DKIM Settings for Email Addresses

Hello Tom,

You need to set up DKIM for every email address that you verify in SES and add the respective DKIM CNAME records to your domain’s DNS records.

If all the email address that you will be verifying belong to a single domain that you own, then you can just verify the domain in SES instead of verifying each of the email addresses of that domain. When you verify an entire domain, you are verifying all email addresses from that domain, so you don't need to verify email addresses from that domain individually. For example, if you verify the domain example.com, you can send email from user1@example.com, user2@example.com, or any other user at example.com without explicitly verifying these in the email addresses section.

Additionally, when you set up Easy DKIM for a domain, Amazon SES automatically authenticates every email from every address on that domain. However, do note that Easy DKIM settings for a specific email address automatically override the settings for the domain that the address belongs to. For example, if you have verified a domain example.com and enabled DKIM on this domain and then you verify an email address of this domain, such as test@example.com and do not enable DKIM for this email address, then on sending emails from test@example.com, your emails will not be DKIM signed.
