Amazon Simple Email Services (SES) announces Deterministic Easy DKIM

Amazon Simple Email Services (SES) announces the availability of Deterministic Easy DKIM (DEED), a new form of global identity which simplifies the use of DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) management for SES first-party sender customers and independent solution vendors (ISVs). DEED expands the existing Easy DKIM solution from SES and enables it to work across all commercial AWS Regions, instead of being limited to just one. While Easy DKIM required domain name system (DNS) lookups to be made in the Region where the identity was verified, DEED expands that capability so customers can use the same identity across multiple Regions without making any DNS setup changes. Customers now have less risk of manual DNS management errors.

At launch, the main use case for DEED is for large customers with multinational operations and a need to have shared access to core domain identities for SES sending from multiple worldwide subsidiaries. ISVs also need to be able to operate smoothly on behalf of their customers, including when moving activity into new Regions. DEED allows them to make those changes without requiring the primary domain owner to make DNS changes themselves.

SES DEED is available across all commercial AWS Regions where SES sending is already available. A new blog post is available here to discuss the feature in greater detail.
