What Ghost sends

Mostly Welcome & Onboarding (100% of campaigns).

The stack behind the sends

Ghost sends with Mailgun and publishes a DMARC quarantine policy.

Sends with

Mailgun

Domain authentication

DMARC: quarantine

Mail failing authentication is sent to spam rather than delivered.

SPF also authorizes Google Workspace, Campaign Monitor, Mandrill to send as this domain, which usually means other tools sit alongside the main platform.

A typical Ghost campaign carries 81 words and 0 images.

How this is measured

Every figure comes from real Ghost emails captured in Inbox Archive, not from a survey or a vendor report. Day and time charts appear once a brand has enough scheduled campaigns archived to plot them honestly. Compare against every brand we track, or browse Ghost campaigns.
