I looked into this at one point. But you can get a VPS at linode for
$25/month capable of running a full qmailtoaster. Obviously not
powerful enough for a million users, but I have over 1000 spread
across 10 or so domains on it with no issues.
With AWS, if you get a dedicated IP address you just spent $25/month.
Then there are message fees, data fees, compute usage, metrics, etc.
etc. All the fees are small, but added up I found it to be more
expensive than just running a toaster on linode. There are possibly
other vendors too, I'm not doing an advertisement for linode, that's
just who I wound up using.
Depending on the number of users and traffic, you might be able to get
by with an even smaller VPS. I have one for DNS that is only $5/month,
1G ram, 1 CPU, 25G storage. Scale your machine up/down depending on
your requirements.

I've been researching moving my toaster from its current home into
AWS, which is why I had those URLs bookmarked. Haven't actually done
it yet, so I don't know how AWS deals with complaints. Sorry I can't
be more helpful on that front.

Hi Chris - I have heard that AWS is really unforgiving if any
spam gets sent out of the mailserver. Have you had experience
running a full mailserver on AWS?
Despite everything we do to control outgoing spam - including
send throttling - our users get hacked and their email
credentials get used by spammers. We are able to limit the damage
to a minimal amount of spam but nevertheless we get some complaints.

AWS has a form where you can request the outbound smtp
limitations be removed for a legitimate mail server.
Amazon Web Services - MAIL SERVER
<https://aws.amazon.com/forms/ec2-email-limit-rdns-request>
They also have a form for requesting reverse DNS on your elastic
IP so your mail doesn't run afoul of DNS validation.
Route 53 Reverse DNS

I'm not sure, maybe start smtp under different port.
