Expert from Spam Resource responds that volume reputation isn't really a thing at the low volumes described in the question. Instead, focus on content reputation and make sure the emails being sent are well-received, and technically correct, so they do not cause the email to be marked as spam or a technical error to occur. Focus on a strategy of sending wanted email.
