As the topic would suggest I've run into another problem with PieFed...I have Mailgun set up as my SMTP host for password resets and the like, the password to my knowledge is correct as I've tested the configuration out in a separate Python script and it logged into smtp.mailgun.org successfully on port 587.

Has anyone else set up Mailgun or similar external SMTP hosting that may be able to help debug the issue?

MAIL_USE_TLS=True in my current configuration...that's what's really strange about it. The exact same configuration in Docker doesn't work for the bare metal install. I've yet to figure out why that is, I'm just glad that it works in the Docker version!
