On a different note, I think Ghost should just stop using dubious mail delviery services like Mailgun, and rely on plain old SMTP over Gmail. I have been using Gmail with Ghost for all my newsletter sending, but for some reason, signups still require Mailgun.

It's interesting, I thought you can move transactional mails like signups to any SMTP but newsletter sending can only work with Mailgun (because of all the delivery and opening stats they provide).

Mailgun stats say all mails have been accepted and delivered. However, I asked around, and none of my contacts has ... 1/2

... received the newsletter. I have a "honeypot" email I use for verification, and I didn't get anything there, either. Nothing in spam. Nowehere to be found.

That sucks and honestly I don’t have much trust in Mailgun either to assist in debugging. This is a great opportunity for a competitor to provide the same API to allow swap-in replacement of Ghost users.
