Bugzilla email routing change

Hi all,

I've moved Bugzilla's outgoing email to Mailgun (http://mailgun.net/). This should improve reliability of the emails because it now does SPF and DKIM on the outgoing messages. This should also reduce the headache of me trying to manage email in an EC2 environment, which is kind of a pain.

This should be no-op to most of you, but if you stop getting bugmail or something weird happens, please let me know and I can investigate.

Aw, darn. Yeah, that's definitely not cost-effective -- alas and woe.

I'm pretty sure we do already batch the news post notifs separately from the regular comment notifs (send-email-mass vs send-email) -- I think it just gets overwhelmed. Ah well, there's always bug 4369; that will help a bit when we get it implemented.

(Now I'm wondering how useful it might be to build some kind of "campaign" tracking or email response metrics into our system. DON'T MIND ME I'M DREAMING OF MORE STATS TO ANALYZE)

We are not running send-email-mass on anything at the moment!

Isn't the delay caused by OMG HOW MANY NOTIFICATIONS getting stuck into ESN, not the mail sender itself?
