Great read!

One of the complicated and daunting aspects of sending mail is verifying a domain for use.

A great way to take this tutorial one step further would be to show people how to do that process too, since I find it rarely covered extensively, and is an otherwise valuable skill to have.

This is actually a great idea! I am working on a side project that I am using this for and if I am done validating it, I will look into creating a custom domain (and then extend this tutorial).

You can get one right from AWS through Route53! It will be the easiest to set up and configure for most people.
