Issues using Mailgun with Payload for Email

Hello there, I have spent a great deal of time looking over the docs

I have tried two different ways to configure the email and have not yet been successful, if anyone sees what I am doing wrong and could be of some assistance that would be very much appreciated. Feeling very human and open to being humbled. 😄

import express from "express";
import payload from "payload";
require("dotenv").config();
const app = express();

// import Mailgun from "mailgun.js";
// import formData from "form-data";
// require("form-data");
// require("mailgun.js");
// const mailgunKey = process.env.MAILGUN_API_KEY;
// const mailgunDomain = process.env.MAILGUN_DOMAIN;
// const mailgunForm = new Mailgun(formData);
// const mg = mailgunForm.client({
//   username: "api",
//   key: process.env.MAILGUN_API_KEY,
// });

require('nodemailer');
require('nodemailer-mailgun-transport');
import nodemailer from 'nodemailer';
import mg from 'nodemailer-mailgun-transport'; 
const mailgunKey = process.env.MAILGUN_API_KEY;
const mailgunDomain = process.env.MAILGUN_DOMAIN;
const auth = {
  auth: {
    api_key: mailgunKey,
    domain: mailgunDomain
  }
}

const transport =  nodemailer.createTransport(mg(auth));

// Initialize Payload
payload.init({
  secret: process.env.PAYLOAD_SECRET,
  mongoURL: process.env.MONGODB_URI,
  express: app,
 
  email: {
    // transportOptions: mg,
     transport: transport,
    //logMockCredentials: true,
    fromName: process.env.FROM_NAME,
    fromAddress: process.env.FROM_ADDRESS,
  },
  onInit: () => {
    payload.logger.info(`Payload Admin URL: ${payload.getAdminURL()}`);
  },
});

// Add your own express routes here
// Redirect root to Admin panel
app.get("/", (_, res) => {
  res.redirect("/admin");
});

app.listen(3001);
