[Mailman-Users] Using Mailgun with Mailman

[Jonathan M]

I run Mailman 2 on a shared server. Over the years I’ve had occasional 
deliverability problems owing to spam from other users. In the long run I hope 
to migrate to Mailman 3, on a Digital Ocean droplet or similar. In the 
meantime, I’m looking at maybe using an email sending service.

Is it possible to use Mailgun (or alternative services) with Mailman 2/3? 
Mailgun does its own bounce processing and I wonder how that might tie in with 
Mailman’s.

If it is possible, in what circumstances (if any) is it advisable?

Thanks for any advice.

Best wishes

Jonathan

Both Mailman 2.1 and Mailman 3 have the ability to deliver mail via SMTP
to an external MTA and provide SASL auth credentials if required. It
appears  that MailGun can handle this.

Mailman's bounce processing relies on the envelope sender being the
LISTNAME-bounces address (possibly VERPed. If MailGun does bounce
processing, it presumably sends the mail with its own envelope sender
which would preclude Mailman's bounce processing
