what's the total number of "m"s in:
q: aws email forwarding from ec2, but impossible to verify a non-existent address. i've seen similar posts out there, but not quite the same thing that i'm asking. 
i have a web site (www.example.com) hosted on an aws ec2 instance. i want mail sent to "contactus@example.com" to go to several people, whose addresses may be of varying domains. 
i tried setting up ses, but i need to "verify the address" (i have already verified the domain). but that "contactus" address is not a mailbox and currently does not forward to anyone, so there's no way i can verify it. i feel like this is a chicken and the egg problem.  
i've read on here that mail relaying is a notably absent feature of aws ses. i've seen rube-goldberg type solutions involving ses, lamba and s3, but that seems needlessly complicated. 
i simply want to "contactus@example.com" to forward mail to john@foo.com, bob@bar.com, etc... and i'm not committed to using ses; i am open to other solutions that can be run from the ec2 instance. how do i accomplish this? 
thank you in advance. 

a: i needed to subscribe to a mail hosting provider. (pretty obvious in hind sight.) i went ahead and selected a mail provider and i am now set. thank you!
