This worked for me. Ironically, I think the order matters here, since I had all the same information as you @mjw but in a different order within the JSON. Once I copied your template into my configuration and edited with the info specific to my Mailgun account, it worked like a charm.
Thank you so much!
Sorry to bring up a quasi dead post, but how would you have this added in your docker/docker-compose? I have a bunch of mail_options in my compose file, but it looks like those were ignored when I look at my config.prod.
See this post:
See I have that, but the config.production file just has “Direct” and it gives me a magic link error when someone attempts to subscribe.
Please remember to NOT Reply All when replying to this email.
IIRC, and I don’t use Docker for Ghost, config.production.json isn’t used by Docker; you have to pass the relevant environment variables for your setup.
This is a thread on a public forum, not an email conversation.
Hello, I got exactly the same error but in my case, it’s because I’m using a free account.
In /var/www/my-super-blog-on-top, I ran this command:
journalctl -fu '*ghost*'
Then, I tried to generate a magic link once again and got these logs:

This is pretty explicit. However, it’s sad because I just started my blog and can’t afford the Foundation offer, but that’s another subject.
I hope it helps!
(ps: it’s been 11 months since the last reply was written. I was facing the same error, but not for the same reason that I couldn’t solve for hours. I wanted to share it, sorry if it was not appropriate.)
Edit: I don’t know why but the “reset password” email is still being sent + I found a solution thanks to @jannis !
Have a look here: How to Downgrade to the Flex Plan in Mailgun in 2023
Thank you so much, I also started a self-hosting plan with Digital Ocean and the official guides are not working for the email part.
They should update the docs.
Also I had issues with free RAM (1GB was consuming too rapidly) and hopefully I solved thanks to this amazing forum
Worked like a charm. Thank you! I think this configuration should be included in documentation.
I have tried it all. using docker.compose file
tried port 587 and 465, tried setting mail__options__secure: false & true
tried setting mail__options__auth__pass: as the API key and the smtp password.
i continue getting the error magiclink failed to send
Any ideas of what i can do next?
thanks
What do the error logs say?
Is it possible you need the .eu version of mailgun’s server address and don’t have it (or the opposite)?
Would using eu vs US make a difference? Mailgun is working with my Gmail email

OK, so that. It’s not a password problem, it’s a never-gets-a-response problem.
Yes. Mailgun offers both types of accounts, and if you try to use the server name for the other account location, it fails. (Although I think it fails with a ‘bad password’ error, not timeout.)
Are you sure the container has access to mailgun? Any chance something is blocking the port?
Might be good idea to post the docker compose file - perhaps one of the docker pros will spot your problem. 
You’re probably already aware (from earlier in the thread), but just in case you missed it: docker setups usually use environment variables to configure mail, not config.production.json. Pikapods (which is docker containers) has good instructions for what works, and I’m using those configs with mailgun to get transactional email from Ghost: Ghost | PikaPods Docs (scroll down to transactional email)
My Docker compose: please, does anyone see any issues with this docker compose file.
Issue: the subscribe option to my ghost site does not work. Failed to send magic link, the docker log is above ib the previous post
Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

I ended up figuring that I made some kind of change in my docker networking configuration as I was setting things up, which resulted in a bridge network between the ghost container and the database container being configured and not being able to communicate to the host network. This prevented all outbound traffic.
I experimented with configuring a squid proxy but only dedicated a little bit of time, during which I couldn’t figure out the solution.
My answer was to spin up a new VM and just install ghost without docker.
interesting ok. i am sure there could be a way to do this using docker compose. havent others managed? otherwise really if there is not the Ghost docker compose method would be of no use.
That’s not a docker-specific problem. That’s repeated failures triggering brute-force protection. If you’re willing to hack the db, you can remove entries from the brute table, or just wait. :)
This error is where the issue is I think
Agreed! The brute force protection is just a symptom.
