AWS SES verified emails


Trying to understand something thats not clear from AWS SES emails. I have a simple emailer on my website that I have setup using nodemailer. It has 3 fields

  • Name: name of user filling out form
  • email: email address of user filling out email.
  • Description: description filled out by user.

I'm seeing in AWS docs that I need to verify on their console the users email.

You can only send mail from verified email addresses and domains. Note: This restriction applies even when your account isn't in the sandbox.

This could be any number of different user email address how would I be able to verify them all I wouldn't know them.

What am I not getting here. I have verified the To: email which will always be the same as its coming to my domain email.


Solution

  • You'll want to send from an email address under your control (SES enforces this on a technical level, but spam filters tend to de facto enforce this everywhere due to things like SPF records) with a Reply-To header of the email address submitting the form.
