Amazon SES adds IP observability for Dedicated IP addresses (managed)

Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) Updates

Amazon SES has added visibility into the IP addresses used by Dedicated IP Addresses - Managed (DIP-M) pools. Customers can now find out the exact addresses in use when sending emails through DIP-M pools to mailbox providers. Additionally, customers can see Microsoft Smart Network Data Services (SNDS) metrics for these IP addresses, providing more insight into their sending reputation with Microsoft mailbox providers.

Previously, customers could configure DIP-M pools to perform automatic IP allocation and warm-up in response to changes in email sending volumes. This reduced the operational overhead of managing dedicated sending channels, but customers could not easily see which IP addresses were in use by DIP-M pools. Now, customers can see the IPs in DIP-M pools through the console, CLI, or SES API. SES also automatically creates CloudWatch Metrics for SNDS information on each IP address, which customers can access through the CloudWatch console or APIs.

What to do

• Check the IP addresses in use by your DIP-M pools through the SES console, CLI, or SES API.
• Access SNDS metrics for these IP addresses to improve your sending reputation.
• Monitor your sending reputation using CloudWatch Metrics for SNDS information.

SES supports DIP-M IP observability in all AWS Regions where SES is available.
