Comment on email set up for Ghost blog hosted on Pikapods
HelloRoot@lemy.lol 3 weeks ago
I recently set up ghost on a regular VPS and it sends “internal” emails like 2fa and invites directly from the docker container as far as I can tell.
The sender is the server domain. (Which btw. gets flagged as spam in my case because I use that domain with tutanota…)
Only bulk/userfacing emails go through mailgun, as far as I can tell, but havent tested this yet in detail.
Maybe that helps you in debugging.

Thank you for your help!
We have fixed it - the problem was that I had already set up DNS records so that Tuta could send emails using our website domain. This was blocking the proper set up of mailgun/transactional emails.
So we worked out how to set up emails for the business separately using the SMPT email server of our web hosting provider - et voila! Email set up works!
