I don't think you need qmail for that. If it's a simple relay that you want to run Id probably go for Exim4 or Postfix. They can do this simple work easily and there is probably a lot of documentation available how to set it up.
For added security you should consider using firewall rules to only allow that amazon instance access to it.
