Amazon SES 寄到 Gmail 受到阻擋的情況

我自己沒遇過,但是 Hacker News 上看到有人有遇到,所以記錄起來:「Tell HN: Gmail rate limiting emails from AWS SES」。

Amazon SES 預設是共用 IP pool,所以遇到這種情況不算太意外,但應該是暫時性的,不過發問的作者有提到後來的解法是花 US$25/mo 使用 Dedicated IP 解決 IP reputation 的問題 (在 id=37177533 這邊):

Thanks you all for comments. I have made a decision to subscribed to dedicated IPs (credits: @slau).

The differentiating factor between our current AWS SES plan and the competitors (mentioned in the comments) is having a dedicated IP. With our current volume, none of the competitors are anyway near AWS SES costs. So, moving to a dedicated IPs thats cost 25$ extra not only solves our issue, but also no change in code/infrastructure.

記得以前另外一個教訓是,寄信還是儘量用 IPv4 address 去寄,因為 IPv6 address 的 reputation 得養頗久... 不過這個也是很久前的事情了。

Amazon SES 的固定 IP 服務

怎麼這麼多消息啊... 這次是 Amazon SES 宣佈提供固定 IP 服務:「Amazon SES Now Offers Dedicated IP Addresses」。

這樣可以減少被其他人影響到 reputation,提昇穩定度:

Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES) now offers dedicated IP addresses, which enable you to manage the reputation of the IP addresses that Amazon SES uses to send your email.

而要用這個功能的人要額外申請:

To request dedicated IPs, open an SES Sending Limits Increase Case in Support Center. In the use case details, specify that you are requesting dedicated IPs.
