Using AWS As SMTP/POP (alien.top)

I need help with what I thought would be a very typical situation:

I have a domain name.
I have an AWS account (paid).
I would like to use AWS server for both incoming and outgoing mail.

Embarrassingly, I do research in this field, but I cannot afford to swim-and-hope at the moment, so was wondering if someone could point me straight to it.

I'm OK with Windows or Linux, though prefer Windows.

For incoming mail you would have to setup a lamda to process it. Outgoing is easy with SES.

Why not just forward your email with something like https://forwardemail.net or a lot of registrars offer email forwarding then use Amazon SES for outgoing email.
