Cold email marketing with amazon ses

Hey! For bulk cold emailing with Amazon SES, focus on warming up your sending IP gradually, keep your email list clean (only legit contacts), and personalize your emails to avoid spam filters. Also, set up proper DKIM, SPF, and DMARC records for authentication. Monitor your bounce and complaint rates closely to keep your sender reputation healthy. Hope that helps!
Yeah had done already but I think the main problem is content. Thats why all the problem occured
 
SES required SPF, DKIM and DMARC to be authenticated before it will move an account out of production now.

In your opinion, is there a difference in quality of the accounts by region? ie. N. Virginia better than Tokyo for inbox delivery?
 
  • Warm up your SES account slowly – Start with 50–100 emails/day and gradually scale
  • Use a custom domain with proper DNS setup (SPF, DKIM, DMARC)
  • Clean your list – Use tools like NeverBounce to avoid high bounce rates
  • Write like a human – No spammy subject lines, avoid links in the first email if possible
  • Track engagement – If open/click rates are low, SES reputation drops fast
  • Use a separate sending domain from your main one, just in case
 
There are some AWS SES warm service if you think that will consume your time. The cheapest and safest is to do it yourself
 
Yeah, Amazon SES can work well for bulk cold emails, but you need to handle it carefully to avoid spam filters. Start by warming up your domain and IP slowly don’t blast thousands of emails right away. Make sure your sending domain has proper SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records set up. Keep your email content clean (no spammy words), personalize it when possible, and always include an unsubscribe option. Also, monitor bounce and complaint rates closely high numbers can get your SES account limited fast. Consistency and good list hygiene go a long way with SES.
