Hi Tom, Amazon EC2 is not allowed to send mail by default, you can look at this page for more information: https://forums.aws.amazon.com/message.jspa?messageID=317525
If you want to setup your own mail server, make sure it's not hosted in US :-). I saw this nice post recently: http://dbpmail.net/essays/2013-06-29-hackers-replacement-for-gmail.html, it may helps you.
