SES domain verification taking forever?

Hi there!

Just to confirm, have you follow the steps in the documentation?

Thank you.

Per the same doc, here are some other items to check:

• Make sure that you entered the values for the DNS records in the correct fields. Some DNS providers refer to the Name/host field as Host or Hostname. In addition, some providers refer to the Record value field as Points to or Result.
• Make sure that your provider didn't automatically append your domain name to the Name/host value that you entered in the DNS record. Some providers append the domain name without indicating that they've done so. If your provider appended your domain name to the Name/host value, remove the domain name from the end of the value. You can also try adding a period to the end of the value in the DNS record. This period indicates to the provider that the domain name is fully qualified.
• The underscore character (_) is required in the Name/host value of each DNS record. If your provider doesn't allow underscores in DNS record names, contact the provider's customer support department for additional assistance.
• The validation records that you have to add to your domain’s DNS settings are different for each AWS Region. If you want to use a domain to send email from multiple AWS Regions, you have to create and verify a separate domain identity for each of those Regions.

If you are hosting a website using AWS Lightsail and your domain using Route 53, you must add the verification CNAME records using your Lightsail account, not Route 53. Using Route 53 will record your CNAME records on the incorrect nameservers. Lightsail sets up its own nameservers.
