I emailed Sterling off-list with details. The concise answer here (cough, cough) is that it does take a lot to get things setup on Amazon. Their ecosphere is complex and requires an investment of time and commitment to see it through and get past the conceptual hurdles. You really need to learn their API to do things right. In the end, we have a very solid platform, reliable mail delivery without server blocks etc.
Amazon is a space shuttle though… you probably just want to fly a drone ☺ Paul From: Af [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Chuck McCown Sent: Thursday, January 29, 2015 7:53 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT Who's in charge? I think Paul probably can write the book on how to do it. He endured the pain, may as well take advantage of it. Seriously, an e book on how to do this may make a few shekels.

Hmmm, I don’t want to maintain it so much as I just want to click in every few months or so. Amazon should be good for that at least.

If you are looking for easy, don't use Amazon for email services. If you need a mailing list, install mailman on your own box (hosted or otherwise) and roll with it.
