I own a domain - for the purpose of this question, let's call it foo.com.
I have verified foo.com with Amazon SES. I have set up the DKIM stuff as well. Everything is working; I have no problems sending outgoing emails, and I have already been granted production access.
The question: I am sending emails from [email protected], but this email address does not actually exist. Should I be worried about this? Is it bad to send emails from an email address that does not actually exist? Since I verified the domain, it seems that I can send emails from any email address I choose to invent.
(My emails are 'email validation' emails. We do not wish to capture any form of reply from our users, and bounces would only occur due to users registering fake email addresses - despite our warning that it is pointless to do so.)
I searched everywhere for an answer to this question, and I'm very surprised that I haven't found an explicitly clear answer to it...

In the Amazon SES console, under Identity Management, choose Email Addresses. In the list of email addresses, locate the email address you're verifying. If the email address was verified, the value in the Status column is "verified".
Open the Amazon SES console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/ses/ . In the left navigation pane, under Configuration, choose Verified identities. In the list of identities, choose the identity you want to configure where the Identity type is Email address and Status is Verified.
Amazon SES + Gmail IntegrationsZapier lets you send info between Amazon SES and Gmail automatically—no code required. Triggers when a new identity is verified in SES. automatically do this! Add a label to an email message.
What you are doing is very common, with SES and/or any other batch mailing type service where you don't want any replies to the sending address - I don't see any problem.
