Amazon SES Verification Email Flagged as Spam
I've decided to move an email campaign over to Amazon SES to save on some overhead. During the "verify email" process, I kept checking my inbox over and over again for the email to come through. After hitting resend 3 times, I decided to log into the web client and found the 3 verification emails in the spam folder.
Is this an issue with my set up or something that just happens sometimes? I was under the impression SES uses professional grade IPs that have fairly good rep among ISPs. This certainly doesn't leave a good first impression.

- elie_CH 10y agoNot sure if they let you personalise your SPF / DKIM now, but this might be the issue.
- tasteup 10y agoThey do. But this occurred during the verification process. Meaning, the amazon email was sent to spam (not an email I tried to send).
- lightlyused 10y agoWhat is a professional grade IP?
- tasteup 10y agoESPs warm up their ips and prepare them before putting them into production, where they're tasked with sending billions of emails on a regular basis. These IPs used in production are considered "professional grade". https://sendgrid.com/docs/Classroom/Deliver/Delivery_Introduction/warming_up_ips.html https://sendgrid.com/docs/Classroom/Deliver/Delivery_Introdu...
