What address should I use for SPF Record in Amazon Workmail?


I have an email config where emails are hosted by Amazon Workmail. I also manage the domain's DNS entries.

I want to configure an SPF TXT Record for my domain to indicate that only Amazon Workmail Servers are authorized to send emails on behalf of the domain.

The AWS Documentation suggests referring to a guide on configuring SPF with SES where the following record is shown at the bottom of the page:-

"v=spf1 include:amazonses.com ~all"

However, I am not sure that the address amazonses.com is the same address that is used for Workmail. Does workmail have its own address or does it share the same as Amazon SES?


Solution

  • The workspace service, will be using the SES service to provide email sending functionality, this is why you would in SPF use amazonses.com.

    Amazon WorkMail uses Amazon SES to send all outgoing email. The test mail domain and your domains are available for management in the Amazon SES console.
