Help with Amazon SES Dedicated IP Configuration
Hey everyone,
I’m reaching out for help with a specific issue related to Amazon Simple Email Service (SES). I’ve recently purchased and paid for a dedicated managed IP and configured everything as far as I can tell.
However, I’m unsure if the dedicated IP is correctly connected because it seems like emails are still being sent from the shared IP.
Has anyone experienced this issue before, and could you point me in the right direction to troubleshoot it? If possible, I’d also appreciate any resources or documentation that could help.
Alternatively, I’m open to hopping on a call for further assistance, and I’m happy to compensate for your time if needed.
Thanks in advance!
If you purchased and set the dedicated IP address in SES then it should work. If you still see it's using shared IP then maybe you should contact with AWS support.

Guy Levy did you see this: How do I include my dedicated IP address as part of my default IP pool on Amazon SES?
ps. I assume you are out of the AWS sandbox.
ps2. Adding info about the Warm up if needed.
Guy Levy, you need to warm up your IP but even if its warmed up you might not achive your goal where 100% emails are being send from you dedicated IP:
Read this carefully:

Important
While dedicated IPs (managed) automatically warms up your dedicated IP addresses, part of that automatic process is working interactively with the SES shared IP pool.
- If your sending rate is too aggressive for your new dedicated IPs while they're being warmed up, SES will automatically spill part of your sending over into the SES shared IP pool to protect the reputation of your new dedicated IPs.
- Even after your new dedicated IPs are fully warmed up, it isn't guaranteed that all of your sending will go through them 100% of the time. For example, if your sending rate suddenly rises and dedicated IPs (managed) determines it must allocate an additional dedicated IP address, it will initiate the warmup process which includes using the shared pool. Likewise, if your sending rate suddenly drops very low, all of your sending could switch over to the SES shared IP pool

Its might be better idea to start with Transactional emails rather than Marketing emails so you wont destroy your IP reputation (when most users will report Spam - you should validate your email list too)
Guy Levy, if your mailing list is "so so and/or not yours" then I recommend to validate your emails with tools like: Reoon Email Verifier - you can find a LTD deal on AppSumo. You should get rid of temp-emails, catch-all for warming up. But be carefull and dont start with 10k email campaign at the beginning.

Automatic IP warmup is a time-based process. The warmup percentage steadily increases over 45 days, independently from your sending volume.
..After you warm up a dedicated IP address, you should send around 1,000 emails every day to each email provider that you want to maintain a positive reputation with. You should perform this task on each dedicated IP address that you use with SES.
Why do you want to use a dedicated IP address? There are advantages and disadvantages to using a dedicated IP address.
You will need to warm up and maintain the reputation and volume associated with this IP address.
I have clients who send millions of emails each month from a good shared IP pool. What is your monthly email volume?
