Use Amazon SES to build a marketing email system

Currently I'm working on building an email marketing system using Amazon SES. I have some problems which I have googled about for a while now but I couldn't find any clue so I decided to ask you guys here.

The first thing is I use only one Amazon account to send email, but it is limited up to 10,000 verified sending addresses or domains per region, so if I want to verify more than that I need to use different regions or Amazon accounts?

Next, is there any way can I add some custom arguments when I request to verify an email address? Because I need to check which account in my system owns that address so that no other account can use that verified address to send emails.

Any answer would be appreciated. And by the way, I'm sorry for my bad English.

Email address verification is only required while Amazon SES is in sandbox mode. This is done to prevent people creating an AWS account and using it to send spam.

From Moving out of the Amazon SES sandbox - Amazon Simple Email Service:

When your account is in the sandbox, we apply the following restrictions to your account:

  • You can only send mail to verified email addresses and domains, or to the Amazon SES mailbox simulator.
  • You can only send mail from verified email addresses and domains (also applies to Production mode)
  • You can send a maximum of 200 messages per 24-hour period.
  • You can send a maximum of 1 message per second.

You would typically only "send" from one email address, or perhaps a few to make it easier to handle replies. There should be no need for 100s or 1000s of verified 'sending' email addresses.

Once you request to move into Production mode and it is accepted, you can send to any recipients (whereas in Sandbox mode, each recipient need to be verified).
