For IT Administrators

GCSE Prepper sends emails via AWS Simple Email Service (SES) – so it’s important that:

  1. AWS SES IP ranges are added to allow lists for incoming mail. Please follow the instructions on the AWS blog to discover the ranges needed by your firewall.
  2. Emails from GCSE Prepper staff (if contacting directly) will come via Outlook.
  3. You can see all approved servers on our SPF record.
