That can be problematic on ec2 because of outbound deliverability issues.

Now, just thinking here, and I know everyone’s a critic, but…
100K emails per day. SES is $0.10 per 1,000 (assuming this is still low enough 
volume to not negotiate a better rate).
100,000 / 1,000 -> 100
100 * $0.10 -> $10/day.
$10/day * 30 -> $300/mo.

Seems like $300/mo can get one heck of a VM or a dedicated server pretty much 
anywhere and gets you back to routine server admin tasks instead of trying to 
twist the amazon genie into shape.

I agree. Kinda curious what prompted that choice. Personally I would have  
probably just done the brute force approach of spinning up an ec2 instance  
running postfix + mailman.
