Here's the tricky part if you go down that road: Amazon's pricing is sufficiently cheap that spammers have also had no problem in renting their own machines in Amazon's cloud. Amazon has tried to deal with this, but it isn't their first priority. As a result, Amazon's reputation in the anti-spam world is pretty low so many anti-spam systems treat mail coming out of the cloud with considerable suspicion. I wouldn't recommend putting a primary sending server in their address block.
