Troubleshooting Amazon Verification for every book I send

[JanKo]

Hello,
I am using Send to Kindle to transfer ebooks I am buying from local eshop to my Kindle Reading App. I got the eshops sending address approved in my preferences. All files since first half of january need to be verified, even I am using what is considered secure kindle address (upper/lower case and symbols too). My problem with verification is, that the verification message is sent to the sender of the file (back to eshop). Not to me as device owner, so I am not able to hit the verify button. Before this problem occurred everything worked flawlessly for years.

Is anyone receiving files from other than his/her on-Amazon-registered mail? Do you have same problem?

Thanks

So this is actually the reason why I wasnt able to receive any more documents and of course Amazons CS never mentioned any of this.
All my whitelisted emails stopped working. I used to have gmx, then created outlook and now it seems only gmail works? On top I have to be lucky in some way?
Amazon has no official statement on how to make this work without testing around?

This problem is so annoying. The email address I send my ebooks to is a random bunch of characters totally distinct from my email address. All of a sudden I have to verify every document sent. Changing my kindle email address has no effect.

I can't set up 2-step verification for gmail because I don't have a phone.

I had an online chat with an Amazon representative today and they told me that the verification could not be turned off, despite the verification email clearly implying that this was the case.

For me, the only email service that now works is Gmail. No doubt Amazon will remedy this before too long

Try via PC with your phone number, or a friend's phone number. they can send an sms. I use gmail and I don't have this problem anymore

In Calibre, the "Send email from" needs to be the Gmail username that's whitelisted in your Amazon account, Hostname is smtp.gmail.com, Port is 587, username is the Gmail username again, Password is the app password you generated specifically for Calibre, and TLS is selected.

I just sent a book this morning and Amazon did not ask me for verification.

This worked for me. Took an afternoon, but after jumping through all the hoops, it worked. I had a GMX mail account that worked for 10 years but I think GMX changed, or Amazon changed. Hope this works for another 10 years. Thanks, Cathy.
