AWS SES TXT Record Content

amazon-sesamazon-web-servicesdomain-name-systemspf

I need to get AWS SES setup for a domain. The registrar's DNS tool only allows me to put in a block of text for the TXT/SPF records (one block per record). I'm not sure how to format the TXT record as a single block of text vs. a key/value pair.

Amazon Says

Record Type: TXT (Text)
TXT Name: _amazonses.the-domain.org
TXT Value: the-very-special-key

The registrar in this case is iPage, here's what it looks like:

iPage DNS TXT Entry

So, how do I format this record as a block of text?

Best Answer

It sounds like what they expect you to add is a record like the following (as written in the normal master file format):

_amazonses IN TXT "the-very-special-key"

You don't specify what this management tool that you refer to offers in terms of UI but the name where you want to add the record is _amazonses (if specified as relative to the zone), the type is TXT and the value is the-very-special-key
