things i've tried:
telnet ip 25 remote host - hangs , never responds
i've added following
mynetworks = 0.0.0.0/0 [::/0]
/etc/postfix/main.cf, , restarted postfix no change

i've used netstat verifiy postfix listening on port 25
sudo netstat -plntu; sudo ls -l /proc/11830 | grep exe

tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:25 0.0.0.0:* listen 11830/master

i'm not @ sure if relevant problem since i'm new using aws ec2 , s3 .. yesterday bookmarked reference "elastic ip's" apparently allow inter-instance communications. i've yet try out.
