I understand that this may be one of many posts about Mailgun, but I’d like to share my experience as a self-hosted user of Ghost over the past seven months. When I signed up for Ghost, I was thrilled to discover a refreshing alternative to WordPress and other CMS platforms. However, my excitement…

Mailgun has this post explaining this: https://help.mailgun.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001124753 . It would be helpful if they presented this form at the very beginning of using their service.

[image] block: Everything was running smoothly until my user base started to grow. However, as the batches of emails sent from Ghost for my newsletter became larger … Perhaps you can share some metrics, since the issue you experience doesn’t appear to be universal. Likewise, how have you buil…

I have sent a few newsletters, all of which were legitimate and not considered spam. My mailing list was not imported; instead, it has been built from scratch over the past few months using the Ghost platform. I believe I should not have faced any limitations. Or at least be warned about it with som…

@block How did you do to “pass” the evaluation period? I have a similar problem than you, except that I imported my existing subscribers from Mailchimp to Ghost. I have about 100. I got the same error message and by contacting the Mailgun support, they told me I am in “evaluation period” with fol…

I have responded to all the inquiries by explaining that the mailing list was created entirely from scratch within the last months. I assured them that all the content on the website is original and of high quality, and emphasized my complete lack of interest in engaging in spamming activities or us…

What an excellent reply, thank you. Whatever the rights and wrongs of everybody’s experience with importing and Mailgun and how they feel they have been treated, I have a suggestion that might smooth things a bit and perhaps reduce friction and time here (and not just in this thread). I’d advise a…

I agree. Didn’t know about the existence of that page. Now everything is definitely clearer. I mark your answer as a solution to my problem.

I seem to be encountering the similar error message. The last two posts that I published did not send as a newsletter. From the ghost posts page, it says “Published but failed to send newsletter.” After going through my error logs, I discovered a “Forbidden: Domain mg.xx.com is not allowed to send l…

I just registered to vent my frustration. I currently have 12 subscribers to my site. it might grow to 20 or 30, but the site is private and only for friends and family. First, I apparently missed that I had to change from the detault set up plan and was charged 20 bucks for that. My fault for not …

Mailgun is definitely a problem also for me. The Ghost reasoning is that they are a small team so there is basically no time to add a different provider (for now). Oh by the way, the rate limiting should be around 100 email sent. Switch asap to the Flex plan. And just keep opening tickets and expla…

Yeah, thanks, I already tried that. Explained that it is a personal blog for friends and family and they all signed up on their own after visiting the site. Let’s see how they respond…
