Hi

Does this book discuss the problems with sending email successfully from an EC2 instance?

I am currently finding that EC2 is not a solid option since any emails generated by my sites or apps are either being marked as spam or just point blank refused.

I am yet to find a reliable solution for this!

Hi,

The book does not discuss sending email from EC2, and I don't believe there is a good solution for doing this without using an external service or email server. The recent announcement of Elastic IP addresses (static-like addresses) might help somewhat, but it is still not possible to configure everything that is necessary to avoid a proportion of the emails sent from EC2 from being flagged as spam.

The best place to look for suggestions and advice on this topic is the EC2 discussion forums, but as far as I'm aware there are still limitations in EC2 that make it ill-suited for email distribution.

Thanks for the reply James. Good luck with the book... I'll be buying a copy!

The basic problem is that dynamic IP's are associated with spam by some lists. You could use something like Dynamic DNS's Mailhop Outbound http://www.dyndns.com/services/mailhop/outbound.html to send email from a known static mailhost. As a low volume email relay, it's been working great for me sending email from my dynamic IP mail computer.

There is a very good (and inexpensive) email provider which specializes in Amazon EC2 Email delivery problems. It is called Elastic Email (http://elasticemail.com)
