Hi!
i have spam with this header:

 Received: from a48-115.smtp-out.amazonses.com (HELO
a48-115.smtp-out.amazonses.com) (54.240.48.115)

Is there any way, based on its fqdn, to know whether an Amazon smtp host is
public or dedicated?

Apologies for what may seem like a silly question, but what's the difference?

I'm assuming he's asking if there's a chance that it's an open-relay SMTP server or one dedicated to Amazon client systems.

I'd be shocked if it was an open-relay, it'd probably be hammered by now if it were.

There's enough spam coming from AWS clients as-is. I've seen malware and phishes coming out of AWS, I wouldn't wouldn't unconditionally trust anything from them.
