Use Same email sending domains and campaigns in more than one SES account?

0

Hi!!

Can one use the same email sending domains and campaigns in more than one SES account?

Any evidence would be appreciated.

Some say NO .. yet online it says YES.

perplexity says YES also

-You can use the same email sending domain across multiple Amazon SES accounts.

  • Domain verification is required in each SES account or region—add all generated DNS records to your domain’s DNS.
  • For DKIM, add separate CNAME records for each SES account to your DNS settings.
  • Campaigns (templates, recipient lists) are managed independently in each SES account, but can use the same sending domain.
  • Deliverability and reputation are tracked separately for each SES account.
  • Proper DNS management is essential to avoid conflicts and ensure all SES accounts are authorized to send on behalf of your domain.

Yes, it is possible to use the same email sending domains and campaigns across multiple Amazon SES accounts, but there are important considerations and steps to follow.

When using the same domain across multiple SES accounts:

  1. You need to verify the domain in each SES account or region where you want to use it. This involves adding the required DNS records (CNAME, TXT, MX) for each account to your domain's DNS settings.

  2. For DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail), you'll need to add separate CNAME records for each SES account to your DNS settings to ensure proper authentication.

  3. You can set up custom MAIL FROM domains for each account, which may require additional DNS configuration.

  4. Campaigns, including email templates and recipient lists, are managed independently in each SES account. While you can use the same sending domain, you'll need to set up and manage your campaigns separately in each account.

  5. It's important to note that deliverability metrics and sender reputation are tracked separately for each SES account, even when using the same domain.

  6. You can use sending authorization to allow other AWS accounts to send emails on behalf of your verified domain. This involves creating sending authorization policies for the identities you want to share.

  7. When using multiple regions, you can use the same custom MAIL FROM domain for verified identities across different AWS Regions, but you'll need to manage bounce notifications carefully.

While it is technically possible to use the same domain across multiple SES accounts, it requires careful management of DNS records and configurations to avoid conflicts and ensure all accounts are properly authorized to send on behalf of your domain. It's also important to consider the potential impact on deliverability and reputation management when splitting your sending across multiple accounts.

Yes, you can use the same email sending domain across multiple Amazon SES accounts.

But you have to configure it correctly in each account:

Verify the domain separately in each SES account (or region). That means adding a unique TXT record per account to your domain’s DNS.

Add separate DKIM CNAME records for each account. Your DNS can hold all of them, there’s no conflict.

Campaigns and templates are managed independently, so you’d need to recreate or sync them across accounts manually.

Deliverability, bounce/complaint tracking, and reputation are per account, so one account’s issues won’t affect the others.

So yes, it’s 100% doable, and I’ve done it in production. Just manage your DNS carefully, and you’re good to go.
