I do not recommend Amazon AWS for this scanning, by the way.  I use them.
 They automatically blocked port 25 against me after I did some stuff.  The
boxes are also configured to kill long running processes or processes that
consume too much of a given resource, and I can't find a way to stop that
from happening.  I need to get off my butt and move my data off their
servers so I can stop using them.
