SES verified identity: domain vs email conflict


If a domain identity is successfully verified, I understand that I can send from ANY email address in that domain. But what if there is also an email identity under the same domain that failed verification? Can I still send an email with that address?

Success: "example.com" (domain)
Failed: "email@example.com" (email)

Another example, what if example.com is verified and email@example.com is Pending verification?

Update: I answered the question on pending. I was able to send an email in this state. Now I'll wait 24 hours (when verification fails) to confirm the original question.


Solution

  • Yes, if the domain is verified, even if the email address's verification is pending or failed, you can send an email from it.

    The docs were unclear, so I answered this question empirically. I set up a verified domain and an email address with failed verification.
