I was hoping this was an April Fool's thing, but unfortunately AWS doesn't play like that.

I'll be in the market for a new email provider around Christmas. I'll let the competition fight it out for several months. I don't think looking for a replacement on the deprecation announcement day is good timing. I already see zoho and friends with marketing materials about this.

well I was about to migrate to AWS from smartermail (which completely ruined my trust with their handling of their disastrous zero day) when I read this. I am in the market for a replacement too.

Looking for a provider handling custom domains, aliases, enabling to send emails from an alias and with an API to create/delete aliases programmatically, with a decent webmail + ActiveSync or equivalent for easy smartphone config + push.

So far it seems to me that the only options are Exchange 365 and Google. But I fear those will be over engineered and super complicated to set up.

Not surprised given development was clearly abandoned years ago.
