Amazon SES - Envelop Domain

0

Hello, I am doing my first steps with Amazon SES to send emails. I mostly used SendGrid since the past years. We send around 40 millions of emails per year on-behalf of multiple or our client. I am currently testing the capabilities of SES.

Here's what I did :

  • I created a new identitie for my domain (fictivedomain.com)
  • I created a standard IP pool with 1 dedicated IP
  • I created an Identity and configured it to use the pool with my dedicated IP
  • SPF record is configured on my fictivedomain.com domain to allow my dedicated IP
  • DKIM records have been created and validated

All the email that I send with this Identity works great ; not being flagged by example gmail. When I send a test to my litmus account and when I analyze the SPF Details I get this :

SPF Details Check Result Test Result Pass Test Status Pass DNS Status Entry Exists Envelope Domain ca-central-1.amazonses.com Sender Domain fictivedomain.com Received IP Address 54.240.80.2XX

My concern is about the Envelope Domain. I have "ca-central-1.amazonses.com" rather than having fictivedomain.com. For some of my client this break their policy ; the envelope domain must be aligned with the DKIM.

thanks in advance

That's default behaviour for Amazon SES, but you can override it. It's explained in detail in this documentation article: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/dg/mail-from.html

I already read this article but it imply to have a MX record created which will not be allowed by some of my client because they already have their. Is there an alternative? If I am taking the example of sendgrid they use a CNAME record to handle the envelop domain. When we need to authorize a sender domain, the client have to create :

  • One CNAME for the envelop domain
  • 2 CNAME for the DKIM
  • Add the IP in the SPF record thanks,

SPF verifies the Envelope domain and DKIM is applied to the authored message via a digital signature
