The overwhelming consensus is that dedicated IP addresses are generally unsuitable for low-volume email senders. A minimum sending volume of around 50,000 emails per month is widely recommended to justify a dedicated IP and maintain a positive sender reputation. Some sources suggest even higher volumes (100,000-200,000) for optimal reputation building. Low-volume senders face challenges in building and maintaining a positive reputation, which is crucial for deliverability, and they may struggle to effectively warm up the IP. For these senders, leveraging shared IPs is usually recommended to benefit from the collective reputation of multiple senders. While some exceptions might exist if the emails are wanted, metrics are strong, and the sender has a solid warming plan, the risks usually outweigh the benefits for low-volume scenarios.

The general consensus is that dedicated IPs are not suitable for low-volume email senders. Maintaining a positive IP reputation requires consistent sending habits and a sufficient volume of emails. Experts recommend a minimum sending volume of 50,000 emails per month to justify the use of a dedicated IP, with some suggesting even higher volumes (100k-200k) for optimal reputation building. Low-volume senders face the risk of struggling to establish a good reputation, impacting deliverability and potentially being more vulnerable to reputation damage. For smaller senders, leveraging shared IPs is generally recommended to benefit from the collective reputation of multiple senders.

Experts generally advise against using a dedicated IP for low-volume email senders. The primary reason is the inability to establish a solid sender reputation due to insufficient volume. Without sufficient volume, senders remain in a perpetual 'warm-up' state, and they bear the entire burden of their IP's reputation, both good and bad. Relying on the deliverability support of a platform like Salesforce or considering shared IP options are often recommended instead.

Email deliverability documentation consistently advises against dedicated IPs for low-volume senders. Maintaining a positive IP reputation, crucial for deliverability, requires consistent sending volume. Low-volume senders struggle to build and maintain this reputation, and may not be able to properly warm up a dedicated IP. Starting with a shared IP and transitioning to a dedicated IP as volume increases (generally above 50,000 emails per month) is the recommended approach.
