Example prompt: Can you check if the domain mailchimp.com has its email hosted by Amazon SES — look up the MX records and tell me whether they match Amazon SES patterns?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a fast, single-domain check to determine if Amazon SES is the email provider, especially for sales intelligence, deliverability research, or pre-migration audits. Prefer this over generic MX lookup tools when you specifically need Amazon SES provider detection with matched pattern details rather than raw DNS data.

## Known failure modes

- Domain does not exist or has no MX records — returns no match with empty host list
- Cloudflare DoH lookup fails due to network issues — lookup error returned
- Domain provided is malformed or invalid — request rejected
- Amazon SES MX patterns have changed and match logic is outdated — may return false negative

## How this service works

Is the domain's email hosted by amazon ses? Looks up the MX records (Cloudflare DoH) and matches them against amazon-ses's mail-exchanger patterns, returning yes/no, the MX hosts and which matched. Provider detection for deliverability, sales and migration work. $0.01 per lookup.

## Output

Returns a yes/no answer indicating whether the domain's email is hosted by Amazon SES, along with the full list of MX hosts found for the domain and which specific hosts matched Amazon SES mail-exchanger patterns.
