You will often get connection failures, or one-byte-per-second connections with eventual disconnection, if you connect to retail-smtp-in.amazon.com from anything looking even remotely non-huge-cloud-business: I've seen it from residential ADSL space, small-business IP space and medium-sized-fibre-to-the-premises. gmail? always works. These are not blacklisted addresses I'm talking about: they're in MX records and receive and send mail to and from many other sites without difficulty (not that mail senders need to be mail recipients as well, but all of these are).
Now I'm even more confused. You're trying to use your Kindle to connect to and send email from Amazon's AWS email services?
