I wonder if the mail server is having problems trying to connect to MXs 
in / associated with AWS and thus having to time out each connection.

I would hope that Postfix has some sort of (maybe optional) inteligence 
to know that the recipient host was down when it last tried, so maybe 
don't try it again for an hour.  I don't know Postfix nearly as well as 
I do Sendmail.  This is standard / best practice with Sendmail.
