According to @jar 's previous signature, you can use spryServers to send all your spam mail.
LoL,
No. This mail server is to send out new user registration emails.
Not for email campaign, not for spamming. Right now I do not have such needs yet, maybe in the future when I need such servers, I will ask for specialized vps vendors.
Since you use SES already, you can use it as relay to send emails, in which case the IP of the VPS no longer matters.
Thank you. I did not think of this. Very good point.

TransIP have a good connection
Is it possible that I set up my own vps mail server and nurture the ip so that the ip rep will grow? Is this a realistic approach, or should I give up my own independent mail servers, and use AWS SES for all outgoing emails?
I read from another post that alexhost is specialized for spamming. I may use it later when there is such a need. Thanks for the information.
How many emails an hour?
Very few. Depends on the new user registration rate. At most one email per day, very possibly even fewer.
I wouldn't bother. SES is so cheap (and so are some alternatives)
Not really understanding why you would want to run your own email server. Personally I would just run them through an SMTP server at Yandex if I needed to use my own domain.
I used google's free smtp before. After a while, the registration emails did not send out. I don't know why until now, just guess that the vps and the dedi's ip rep is not good enough. That is why I want to explore other alternatives. AWS SES is a good and solid one. I just don't know if I can set up my own so that if SES changes policy, I still have my backup method. Building ip rep of mail servers takes time. If I choose the wrong vps vendor, very possibly several years' effort will lose in one night.
SES is cheap and pretty good in terms of delivery. Another option is zeptomail by zoho, which is like $2/10k transaction mails.
Or you could use cheap shared hosting that uses mailchannels for outbound delivery.
Maintaining your own mail server for 1-2 mails per day (initially) is not worth it.
why not use mailbaby or sendgrid or sendinblue for free transactional email as you need to send registration email only.
Valid point. But you got SES already, just add new domain identity and start sending mail. You can also create SES smtp credentials to use directly in the app if SES api is not supported in it.
I like this approach.
