AWS Lightsail solution for Emails

Hey so we've decided to migrate our server to AWS and got the lightsail solution. Everything looked great but we found out that we cannot send/receive emails use Outlook etc. We saw that AWS are blocking port 25 and that this is causing the issue on our end and we contacted them if they can remove that but they said at the current stage they cannot. 

We installed Lightsail WHM and we are desperately looking for a solution for our server as we have 20 websites with emails for our business and we have constant communication with our customers. 

What options do we have. We send / receive no more than  100-200 emails a day. 

Thanks

  You'll need to either ask Amazon to open port 25 outbound (see https://support.cpanel.net/hc/en-us/articles/1500001267681-What-do-I-do-if-Amazon-won-t-open-port-25-on-my-EC2-server-for-sending-email- and https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/ec2-port-25-throttle ) or use a Smarthost (see https://support.cpanel.net/hc/en-us/articles/360056322734-How-to-Use-Amazon-SES-as-a-Smarthost ).
