How to fix MAIL FROM

Add the MX and SPF records on ses.your-domain.com so bounce handling and SPF alignment work.

You got custom MAIL FROM MX/SPF is incomplete. Lumail sends with a custom MAIL FROM of ses.your-domain.com. That hostname needs its own MX and SPF. Without them, bounce handling and SPF alignment break.

What to add

Copy the MAIL FROM rows from Domains → the domain. They look like this:

TypeHostValue
MXses.your-domain.comfeedback-smtp.REGION.amazonses.com (priority 10)
TXTses.your-domain.comv=spf1 include:amazonses.com ~all

The MX target is region-specific. Use the value on the domain page, not a guess.

Checklist

  • Host is ses relative to the sending domain (so ses.hey.melvynx.com if you send from hey.melvynx.com).
  • MX priority is 10.
  • SPF is a TXT on the same ses hostname, not only on the apex.
  • No extra MX on ses.your-domain.com that steals the name.

Then verify on the domain page.
