	I've not studied AWS so may be all wet here...

	Are you /running/ as the SMTP server? That, as mentioned elsewhere, may
need root level privileges to create a listener on port 25. 

	But the other half of your question speaks of /sending/ an email...
That should, to my mind, only require /an/ SMTP server to be running on the
machine, which you, as a client, connect and transfer the email. The server
then handles delivery of the message.

	If you already have an SMTP server running, even root shouldn't let you
create a new server on the port.
