About aws-ses

A skill for developers using Amazon SES V2 to send email and manage identity verification, configuration, and deliverability. It includes executable scripts for templated and bulk sending, address validation, and tenant setup.

Key features

01Send email through the V2 API or SMTP
02Send templated and bulk email
03Verify domains and email identities
04Configure event tracking and suppression lists
05Validate addresses and monitor deliverability
06Set up tenants and associated resources

Use cases

01Send password resets or order notices from an application
02Build a multi-tenant email platform
03Migrate email services and configure authentication
04Check email addresses and sender reputation

Install

Amazon Simple Email Service (SES)

Amazon SES is a cloud-based email sending and receiving service. It provides APIs and SMTP access for transactional, marketing, and notification email, designed to scale with your needs.

Key Capabilities

Email Sending — V2 API (sesv2), SMTP interface, templated and bulk sends
Email Receiving — For inbound email processing, see the Mail Manager Agent Context Pack (coming soon)
Identity Management — Domain and email verification with DKIM, SPF, DMARC, BIMI
Tenants — Isolated workloads with per-tenant reputation monitoring and enforcement
Configuration Sets — Event tracking, suppression management, IP pool assignment
Email Validation — Validate addresses before sending to reduce bounces
Deliverability — VDM dashboard, reputation monitoring, dedicated IP management
Suppression Lists — Global, account-level, and configuration-set-level suppression

When to Use This Skill

Building email sending into an application
Setting up transactional email (password resets, order confirmations, notifications)
Building a multi-tenant email platform (ISV/SaaS)
Migrating from another email service (SendGrid, Postmark, Mailgun)
Setting up email authentication (DKIM, SPF, DMARC)
Monitoring email deliverability and sender reputation
Validating email addresses for deliverability

Common Mistakes (Quick Reference)

Mistake	Fix
Using V1 API (`ses`)	Use `sesv2` — V1 is legacy
Sending before verifying identity	Verify domain/email first
Ignoring sandbox mode	Use simulator addresses for testing; request production access before going live
Skipping DKIM/SPF/DMARC	Gmail and Yahoo reject unauthenticated bulk email
No configuration set	You lose all observability — always create one
No tenants	Isolate mail streams from day one — tenants provide per-stream reputation monitoring
Misdiagnosing throttling	TPS limit is a ceiling; check your own app's rate limiting first
Ignoring bounces/complaints	Bounce > 5% or complaint > 0.1% triggers enforcement
No delivery delay events	Gmail defers for up to 14 hours — enable notifications
SPF on wrong domain	SPF checks MAIL FROM, not From header — use custom MAIL FROM
Cold dedicated IPs	Warm up 2-4 weeks or use managed dedicated IPs
Sending to invalid addresses	Validate with `GetEmailAddressInsights` first

See AGENTS.md for detailed explanations of each mistake.

Executable Scripts

Scripts in scripts/ accept command-line arguments and can be run directly. Available in Python and Node.js.

Script	Description	Usage
`send-email`	Send a simple email	`python scripts/send-email.py --from [email protected] --to [email protected]`
`send-templated`	Send with a template	`python scripts/send-templated.py --from [email protected] --to [email protected] --template name --data '{"key":"val"}'`
`send-bulk`	Send bulk templated email	`python scripts/send-bulk.py --from [email protected] --template name --recipients '[{"email":"[email protected]","data":{"name":"Alice"}}]'`
`verify-domain`	Verify domain + get DKIM records	`python scripts/verify-domain.py --domain example.com`
`setup-config-set`	Create config set + event destinations	`python scripts/setup-config-set.py --name my-config --enable-cloudwatch`
`handle-bounces`	Set up bounce/complaint Amazon SNS notifications	`python scripts/handle-bounces.py --config-set my-config --email [email protected]`
`setup-tenant`	Create tenant + associate resources	`python scripts/setup-tenant.py --name my-tenant --identity-arn arn:... --config-set-arn arn:...`
`validate-email`	Validate email addresses	`python scripts/validate-email.py --email [email protected]`

For Java examples, see references/java-examples.md.

What This Skill Does NOT Cover

Mail Manager / Inbound Email — SES Mail Manager handles inbound email processing (ingress, routing, archiving, SMTP relay). Classic SES receipt rules (V1 API) are not covered by this skill. See the Mail Manager Agent Context Pack (coming soon) for inbound use cases.
Global Endpoints — Cross-region failover configuration is an advanced topic.
V1 API — Intentionally excluded. All guidance and examples use V2.
