Question Regarding AWS SES

0

We recently migrated our application server from AWS to a DigitalOcean droplet and configured our server to send emails through Amazon SES using SMTP credentials. After the migration, SES sending was paused with the message that the SMTP credentials may have been compromised. Could you please help us understand where to get such below information.

From which IP addresses the SMTP credentials were used? Whether the suspicious activity was related to our DigitalOcean server IP? If there were any unusual sending patterns or volumes detected? This will help us determine whether the credentials were exposed or if the activity was coming from our newly configured server.

Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) will automatically suspend email sending if it detects that SMTP credentials may have been compromised. However, SES does not provide detailed forensic data such as the originating IP addresses, specific traffic patterns, or confirmation of whether the activity was associated with your DigitalOcean server.
