Need Amazon EC2 Expert -- 2

Alright, I have hired three freelancers for this project and none of them have been able to complete the project. It shouldn't be very hard if someone REALLY knows their way around Amazon EC2. Here is what I need: I have 4 instances. Two of them are "Marketplace" AMI instances which come setup with a specific software. These two instances have proven quite difficult to configure beyond how they come set up. Instance #1 - AMI Magento instance. The Magento part works great, and I am starting to configure the store. However, EMAIL does not work on this server. Magento reports that it cannot send mail, and it appears that the server is not configured for mail services. Also cannot seem to get SSL installed on the server (I have a Comodo certificate). Instance #2 - AMI Canvas LMS instance. You don't need to know anything about Canvas. This is strictly an SSL setup issue. Thanks, LVWebGuy
