A serverless email server on AWS using S3 and SES

This is great. I tried a similar approach but couldn't use it as a transactional email server because of this (taken from OP's readme):

> By default, you can't send emails to unverified addresses. If you'd like to be able to send (as opposed to just receiving), you'll need to reach out to AWS to remove this limitation from your account.

I reached out AWS to remove this limitation but they refused my request 3 times claiming that my use case would impact the deliverability of their service.

AWS is not wrong. The instant that you stand up a service that allows anyone to send email, spammers will take advantage of it and spam the world. This ruins your reputation and you get blocked everywhere.
