PieFed Instance Not Sending E-mails? (piefed.social)

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?

Out of curiosity was yours a bare metal or Docker installation? I had the exact same problem with the bare metal install, but with Docker the same mail configuration worked flawlessly. Perhaps the bare metal install documentation is missing a step?

I use Docker, must be somrthing else.

Mail parameters are set correctly, yet I never got any email when trying to test password resets and I also did not find anything in the logs. Not sure what the logs would say if it successfully sends an email.
