    Mailgun seems to be the only major mail distributor that I can't find SMTP server IPs for to add to my grey-listing.

    See https://status.mailgun.com/ - major outage on all services

    Now let's pray they have other notifications than via email

    Any recommendations for an alternative mail service to use temporarily while Mailgun is down? Maybe it's good to always have two mail services available in the case that one of the two is down. It would be great to hear a best practice from someone experienced.

    I never had any issue with Mailgun before. I'm now using Postmark as a backup service and it works very well.

    It's very easy to set up with Laravel (PHP): MAIL_MAILER=failover

    SendGrid is up and running, like always :)

    Giving me a good initiative to switch fully over to Postmark :)
