How AllCode Helped Clients Optimize Email Deliverability with Amazon SES

At AllCode, we help organizations get the most out of their email infrastructure. A common challenge we’ve successfully addressed across multiple clients is email deliverability—ensuring that emails reliably land in the inbox, not the spam folder.

For clients using Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) with custom SMTP setups, deliverability issues can quickly derail outreach efforts. That’s where our team comes in. 

The Challenge: Good Infrastructure, Poor Inbox Placement

Several of our clients came to us after configuring Amazon SES to send marketing and transactional emails—yet they were still facing:

• Emails going to spam or promotions tabs

• High bounce rates and email rejections

• Low open rates and lack of user engagement

Despite having the right tools, the execution needed refinement. The root cause was often buried in overlooked technical misconfigurations and lack of domain reputation monitoring. 

Our Solution: A Technical and Strategic Deliverability Overhaul

We performed a comprehensive audit and applied industry best practices to correct issues at multiple levels:

• Verified and aligned SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records for authentication

• Audited SMTP setup, headers, and routing behavior

• Implemented bounce handling and complaint feedback loops in SES

• Enabled domain reputation tracking via tools like MXToolbox, Talos, and Postmark

• Created IP warming plans where needed to gradually scale up email volumes

• Provided content and segmentation strategy to improve engagement and avoid spam triggers

Measurable Results

Following our optimization efforts, clients experienced:

• Up to 50% improvement in inbox placement

• Significant reduction in bounce and complaint rates

• Noticeable increase in open and click-through rates

• Improved domain trust and long-term deliverability stability
