We have a newsletter with 1500+ subscribers which is currently hosted on my friends house. He has DSL and the connection goes to crap for 5-15 minutes every time we send one out, other than that it works fine. When I looked at some of the low cost hosting options none of them seem to be good because of various limitations like 500 messages per hour. We send out 1 or 2 newsletters a week at most so it has been hard to justify spending the $40-$100 or more a month for better hosting.
I have been wanting to try out Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud, http://aws.amazon.com/ec2, and I think it would be really cool to fire up the EC2 instance (basically a linux server) for an hour and fire off the newsletter. Has anyone done this sort of thing? I doubt it could it be as simple as making a temporary exim smarthost with some configuration tweaks. What is required to make this work properly?
