For $25/mo, which is a 50% increase in my monthly SES cost. And based on my experience with contacting Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, etc., there is no way to get my dedicated IP whitelisted or removed from a blacklist once it's on one.

And given that the normal SES complaint rate is 0.3-0.5%, and 0-2% for google postmaster when simply responding to people who applied with a "you did/didn't qualify", my dedicated IP is very likely to get blacklisted.

Also, the whole point of using SES is for them to handle the blacklist stuff. It's much cheaper to set up your own SMTP server, but deliverability is supposed to be better and easier with Amazon SES.

Since Amazon themselves in their documentation describe using a dedicated IP address as the way to avoid the reputational impact of other Amazon SES customers you and your service provider seem to have a very different view of what service they are providing you.
