SES Mail Manager now supports incoming connections from customer VPCs via PrivateLink

Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) announces that its Mail Manager email modernization and infrastructure features now accept incoming connections from customer-provisioned Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) to Mail Manager Ingress Endpoints. This makes use of PrivateLink connectivity features already provided by AWS.

Since Mail Manager launched in mid-2024, VPC connectivity has become the most-requested new feature from customers. These customers operate large fleets of applications hosted inside AWS, and want to route all their outgoing and incoming mail for those applications via Mail Manager. By adding VPC support via PrivateLink, those customers can now route all their outgoing mail securely entirely within AWS to Mail Manager, using its ‘Send to Internet’ action or by delivering mail to a downstream SMTP relay, hands the message off to its first external destination. The feature is enabled after a customer has created their VPC, by creating a new ‘Network’ Ingress Endpoint type and specifying the VPC’s unique endpoint ID. Customers can also choose whether or not to use authentication to their Ingress Endpoint for connections originating via PrivateLink. All VPC-enabled Mail Manager Ingress Endpoints support dual-stack (IPv4 and IPv6) connectivity by default.

Mail Manager VPC Ingress Endpoints are available in all 17 AWS Regions where Mail Manager is launched. There is no additional fee from SES to make use of this feature, though charges from AWS for VPC and PrivateLink activity may apply. Customers can learn more about SES Mail Manager by clicking here.
