1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console:
   • Go to the AWS SES console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/ses/.
2. Navigate to the Identity Management section:
   • In the AWS SES console, on the left-hand side, click on “Identity Management” and then click on “Email addresses”.
3. Select the domain for which DKIM needs to be verified:
   • Click on the domain for which you want to verify DKIM.
4. Verify DKIM for the selected domain:
   • Under the “Domain details” section, find the “Domain authentication” tab.
   • Click on the “Verify a new DKIM” button.
   • You will be provided with a set of CNAME records that you need to add to your domain’s DNS settings.
5. Add DKIM CNAME records to your DNS settings:
   • Login to your domain registrar or DNS hosting provider where your domain is hosted.
   • Add the CNAME records provided by AWS SES to your DNS settings.
   • It may take some time for the DNS changes to propagate.
6. Verify DKIM after adding CNAME records:
   • Go back to the AWS SES console.
   • Click on the “Verify this record set” button to confirm that the CNAME records have been added correctly.
   • Once verified, the DKIM status for your domain should show as “Verified”.
7. Monitor DKIM status:
   • Regularly check the DKIM status in the AWS SES console to ensure that it remains verified.
   • If there are any issues, follow the instructions provided in the console to troubleshoot and resolve them.

​

1. List your verified domains by running the following command:

aws ses list-identities --identity-type Domain

2. Identify the domain for which you want to enable DKIM verification.
3. Verify the domain by running the following command:

aws ses verify-domain-dkim --domain example.com

4. After verifying the domain, you will receive a set of CNAME records that you need to add to your DNS configuration. These records are used to verify the ownership of the domain.
5. Add the CNAME records to your DNS configuration with the values provided by AWS SES.
6. Once the DNS changes have propagated, you can enable DKIM verification for the domain by running the following command:

aws ses set-identity-dkim-enabled --identity example.com --dkim-enabled

7. Verify that DKIM verification is enabled for the domain by running the following command:

aws ses get-identity-dkim-attributes --identities example.com

1. Install the AWS SDK for Python (Boto3) by running the following command:

pip install boto3

2. Create a Python script with the following code snippet to enable DKIM verification for your AWS SES domain:

import boto3

def enable_dkim_verification():
    ses_client = boto3.client('ses', region_name='us-east-1')  # Update the region as per your SES configuration
    domain_identity = 'your_domain_here.com'  # Update with your SES domain

    response = ses_client.verify_domain_dkim(
        Domain=domain_identity
    )

    print(response)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    enable_dkim_verification()

3. Replace your_domain_here.com with your actual SES domain in the code snippet.
4. Run the Python script using the command line or your preferred Python IDE.
5. Verify that DKIM has been successfully enabled for your SES domain by checking the response from the verify_domain_dkim API call.

# Configure DKIM for an SES domain by generating DKIM tokens
# and creating the required CNAME records in Route 53.

resource "aws_ses_domain_dkim" "dkim" {
  domain = "YOUR_VERIFIED_SES_DOMAIN" # e.g. "example.com"
}

resource "aws_route53_record" "dkim_cname" {
  zone_id = "YOUR_ROUTE53_HOSTED_ZONE_ID" # e.g. "Z123EXAMPLE456"
  name    = "${each.value}._domainkey.${aws_ses_domain_dkim.dkim.domain}"
  type    = "CNAME"
  ttl     = 600

  for_each = toset(aws_ses_domain_dkim.dkim_tokens)

  records = [
    "${each.value}.dkim.amazonses.com",
  ]
}

• YOUR_VERIFIED_SES_DOMAIN with the SES identity domain (must already be verified as an SES identity).
• YOUR_ROUTE53_HOSTED_ZONE_ID with the hosted zone that serves DNS for that domain.
