How long does it take to verify domain AWS SES?

It can take up to 72 hours for changes to DNS settings to propagate. As soon as Amazon SES detects all of the required DKIM records in your domain's DNS settings, the verification process is complete. Your domain's DKIM configuration appears as Successful and the Identity status appears as Verified.

How do I create an AWS SES email address?

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.

Login to your namecheap account, then under Host Management > All Host Records we need to add our DKIM and Domain record Verification Set under the sub-domain settings. The values take this form:

Host Name            IP Address/URL              Record Type     TTL name1._domainkey     value1.dkim.amazonses.com.  CNAME (Alias)   1800 name2._domainkey     value2.dkim.amazonses.com.  CNAME (Alias)   1800 name3._domainkey     value3.dkim.amazonses.com.  CNAME (Alias)   1800 _amazonses           someDomainRecordSet         TXT Record      1800 

Do take note of the following changes:

Instead of name1._domainkey.test.com we changed it to name1._domainkey . Yes, it's intentional. There is no need for the domain test.com at the end of the line.

Also we removed test.com from _amazonses.test.com as namecheap's dns will append it upon save.
