Please, don’t use Amazon SES. SMTP was designed as an open, interoperable protocol and I consider the market concentration harmful to the open internet. While others argue, that it’s too late to stop this process from my perspective it’s easier to start doing the right thing today than tomorrow. Delivering mail from a cloud host / VM to the big players works reasonably well for me. If you start from scratch: After booking your VM / IP check dns blocklists for the reputation of your new IP address. If you get a bad IP assigned, change it. It’s easier than trying to remove it from the blocklists.
