Interesting! Emails that stop sending can be caused by a technical glitch of some kind, or they can be the consequence of a block list. A sister project could be to assist users with this?
A couple of years ago I built a journal system that sends me an email everyday; answers are then logged in a db. It worked flawlessly until last week.
Although that domain is only used by me to send emails to me, it seems it was suddenly added to a black list (DNSBL). I would welcome assistance in that matter and am not sure where to turn to... (Mailgun support essentially says "tough luck").

A simple follow-up if someone finds this later: it turns out support for the two relevant black lists are super responsive and nice. The domain had been blacklisted in error; it was delisted immediately. It was surprising how fast and nice that went ;-)
Hoping to get a working version out this week. In the meantime if you want to get an early peek at how it works you can go to sandbox.wasitsent.com. The sandbox is ugly but functional. It goes down a lot and the data is periodically wiped because I use it for testing.
