Amazon SES: Creating verified email address without inbox

amazon-sesamazon-web-services

All,

I've searched for answers and couldn't find a suitable one and hence the question here —

I have couple of internal services running on AWS which need to send outbound 'notification' emails. such as — ticketing system, nagios etc. These are akin to no-reply@ email addresses. Example: nagios-alert@example.com and jira-notify@example.com

I could verify the entire domain but I prefer verifying specific email addresses for paranoia. It also allows us to manage outbound email addresses so that any of the services or admin do not misconfigure a server to send unapproved or accident emails on the internet.

How do I verify email addresses without an inbox on Amazon SES since verification requires a valid email box. — http://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/verify-email-addresses.html

I know I could create an inbox, verify and delete the inbox. But looking for any other way that I may have missed or an alternative that AWS SES offers that I don't know.

Best Answer

AWS doesn't offer any other way to verify an individual email except for receiving the email and clicking the link.
