After the most recent entreaty, Amazon SES removed my account from the
sandbox and enabled E-mail access. I ran a test with mail-tester.com
and it reported a non-spam score of 9.9/10, with many of the nits
things only the mail transfer agent can control (for example, DKIM
signing) and properties of the test mail I sent (high link to text
ratio).
Re-sent the registration E-mail to cruft.com and it was received
successfully. Activated the regular user account:
E-mail: REDACTED
User name: johnwalker
Full name: John Walker
Password: REDACTED
Changed the administration account to:
Email: REDACTED
Username: Fourmilab
Full name: Shalmaneser
Password: REDACTED
Added biography to both accounts.
Made a backup AMI:
Scanalyst Backup 2021-10-04 ami-0b5b50f2f92e485bf
/ snap-01a1e8ca182d0d13a
/server snap-0d15b164887f4953f
Stopped the existing instance, i-082d04418d82bcfa1, and created a new
instance to remedy errors in configuring the original one. The
replacement instance is:

Selected Launch. Reused the key pair Scanalyst.pem from the previous
instance.
Confirmed that we are now in the eu-central-1b availability zone and
that IPv6 access works correctly.
The Spoiler plug-in works.
The MathJax plug-in, although enabled, doesn't appear to do anything.
Looking at the error log, it's getting:
TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'inlineBetween')

Changed administrative contacts in the site configuration to:
admin@fourmilab.ch
Had to verify the admin@fourmilab.ch address through AWS SES before it
could be used as a sender address. Tested with an E-mail to my
REDACTED address and it worked.
Private messages appear to work, as does E-mail notification of receipt
of a private message when away from the site.
