If we only send a few hundred emails a month, but need everyone to reach customer's mailbox (transactional emails, not marketing emails), would you recommend a dedicated IP? how would I know if the dedicated IP has ever been/is blacklisted too?
We're using Mandrill, but we am looking at alternatives longer term.
- etjossem 10y agoIf you're only sending a small amount of desirable transactional email, you're the perfect model of a good sender and your blacklist risk will be vanishingly low. Sending from a shared IP will still expose you to the behavior of the other customers using it (like a VPS, you'll have neighbors). We actively police our shared IPs for bad sender behavior. Dedicated IP packages won't be affected by the sending habits of other users. They are more cost-efficient for high-volume senders, but we do have dedicated IP tiers starting at the $80/mo. mark, which allows up to 100k mails a month. With either option, we're always happy to work with you if you're having deliverability issues - and that includes checking IPs for blacklist status.
