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.

Hm. Looking at the things they offer, the "campaigns" thing seems like it could be very interesting from an analytics standpoint. How hard would it be to pipe the sending of site communication through them too? (Things like password reset emails, community membership requests, and official post notifications, not general comment emails.)

If nothing else, offloading official post notifications to them might keep there from being the usual hour-long mail delay after a news post gets posted...

Possibly this is not possible, or not cost-effective, or just a stupid idea, but it would be really fascinating to have those analytics so we could work on improving the messaging in our emails.

Does that mean I might get my Bugzilla whine emails again? I kinda miss them.
