AWS SES subdomain email

us flag

Can I add CNAME and MX records to a subdomain hosted outside Amazon to work with AWS SES?

I have [email protected] and [email protected].

  • I would like to leave bill as is while transferring jill over to use with AWS services. Can this be done?
  • Would I create a subdomain (eg. [email protected]) to handle sending and receiving with Amazon?
  • Would I be able to verify this subdomain with Amazon and add an MX record to the appropriate server (feedback-smtp.aws-region.amazonses.com)?
  • Would I want to migrate a subdomain to Route53 and work with their hosted zones(this seems expensive)?

Thanks for reading and looking forward to discussions!

I have formatted your question and changed the title a bit, but your question is still somewhat unclear. In general subdomains and email can have different hosts, and what I think you're trying to do should be possible. Please edit your question for clarity if you would like more help.

This sounds like a "how do I solve X" when Y is the problem kind of question... My understanding of SES is it's for mailblasting, like Mailchimp is. Not a great solution for actually hosting email for `jill`. Also Route53 is really not expensive - $0.50 a month for up to 25 domains per account, then $0.40 per million requests? How popular is your domain?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
