Que la tienda envíe sus correos por SES es barato y fiable. Llegar hasta ahí no: verificar el dominio, copiar tres registros DKIM al DNS sin equivocarse en una letra, añadir SPF, decidir qué hacer con DMARC, configurar el MAIL FROM, pedir a AWS que te saque del "sandbox" rellenando un formulario, y después vigilar rebotes y quejas para que no te corten el servicio. Cada paso en una pantalla distinta, en cada región donde envíes.
Simplio te enseña tus dominios y direcciones de SES de cada región y qué les falta: DKIM, SPF, DMARC, MAIL FROM. Si el dominio está en Route 53, los registros se ponen solos con un botón. Debajo, la cuota diaria, lo enviado, los rebotes y las quejas por dominio, la lista de supresión, y la petición de salir del modo de pruebas, desde la misma pantalla.
How it works
You see your SES identities
Domains and addresses, per region, with their status: verified or not, DKIM, SPF, DMARC and MAIL FROM in green or red.
You add what is missing
If the domain is in Route 53, one button adds the missing records. If it's with another provider, Simplio gives you the exact records to copy.
You leave testing mode
SES starts in "sandbox": it only sends to verified addresses. The request to leave is made from Simplio.
You watch sending health
Daily quota, sent, bounces and complaints per domain, and the suppression list. If bounces go up, you get an alert.
How secure it is
DNS records, without copy errors
Simplio writes to Route 53 exactly what SES asks for. Not a single letter changed, which is the cause of half of all "won't verify" cases.
Separate permission
Email is an action of its own, granted per person and per account.
Bounce alerts
A high percentage of bounces or complaints makes AWS limit or suspend sending. The alert arrives first.
The same task, in AWS and in Simplio
| On your own in AWS | In Simplio | |
|---|---|---|
| Verify a domain with DKIM | SES → create identity → copy 3 CNAMEs → Route 53 → create 3 records → wait | One button |
| SPF, DMARC and MAIL FROM | Learn what they are, write the records, add them | Simplio adds them, with sensible values |
| Watch bounces | SES metrics per region, or set up SNS notifications | On the same screen, with an alert |
Frequently asked questions
What if my domain isn't in Route 53?
Simplio shows you the exact records that are missing so you can copy them to your DNS provider, and checks when they are in place.
Does Simplio send emails for me?
No. Simplio configures and monitors SES; your application sends the emails as always.
