I modified Ghost to support a non-mailgun email provider (postmark) and it was pretty easy. So easy, I wondered why they never did it even though there were open issues for using other providers. It turns out mailgun has an affiliate program[1] that I venture Ghost is using. The amount of telemetry that ghost sends is also concerning... Anyway, I abandoned it. I wouldn't recommend Ghost to anyone. It's a good blogging product, but it seems they're in the business of making money and not a great product.

  No. Sometimes we humans do things because we want the thing, if there is money the thing gets us, it’s just a happy byproduct.

    Ghost isn't a human. It's a funded company. Those do things because they want money.
