"Amazon ec2 Mail issues Having mail servers in the cloud of Amazon ec2 does have a couple of issues.
- Spammers set up mail spamming instances in the ec2 cloud. Thus the ec2 ips are blocked by some spam checking tools. In the postfix howto document I tell you how to unlist your public ip. Basically go to spamhaus.org and fill their unlisting forms. - Amazon have themselves set up restrictions for this. Thus port 25 traffic of new AWS accounts are restricted. Follow the advice in their article <http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/faqs/#Are_there_any_limitations_in_sending_email_from_EC2_instances> on how to be approved <http://aws.amazon.com/contact-us/ec2-email-limit-request/>. - Thirdly, if you are in the cloud, your mail server is not local. So if you sent 50MB files as attachment to someone else, the transfer will take awhile compared to a local mail server.
