Updated the Mailgun section as things have changed a wee bit in their UI:

> [@zogstrip](#):
>
> ### MailGun
> 
> 1. Log in to MailGun and go to [your dashboard](https://app.mailgun.com/app/dashboard); look in the left column for the **Sending** → **Webhooks** page.
> 2. Make sure that the correct Domain is selected (top right on desktop)
> 3. In Discourse, set the `mailgun api key` site setting with your **HTTP webhook signing key**
> 4. Click the **Add webhook** button, set the “Event Type” menu to “Permanent Failure”, and set the URL to `https://your.discourse/webhooks/mailgun`
> 5. Repeat the **Add webhook** portion, choosing “Temporary Failure” as the “Event Type”
> - ❗ there is a “Test webhook” section which is useful for testing, but _doesn’t save_ - make sure you use the **Add webhook** button instead
