So some spam signups just happened (all username12345678@gmail.com format e-mail) This caused bounced mail to increase, causing Mailgun to block our domain to prevent it getting blacklisted.
So:
- Mail temporarily doesn't work
- I closed signups for now
- I will ban the spam accounts
- I will check how to prevent (maybe approval required again?)
Stay tuned.
Edit: so apparently there is a captcha option which I now enabled. Let's see if this prevents spam. Registrations open again.
Edit2 : Hmm Mailgun isn't that fast in unblocking the domain. Closing signups again because validation mails aren't sent
Edit 3: I convinced Mailgun to lift the block. Signups open again.

Those usernames are so unimaginative. Who would pick a name like that?
I know, right? That's the kind of thing an idiot would have on their luggage!
12345 is the code to my luggage
Now, can you tell me where your luggage is?
