Unable to send mail via Mailgun over api or smtp

Question

I have setup a new account and not verified my domain. I would like to test and confirm mail-send before proceeding with verification and adding payment information.

Answer 1

For anyone else trying to figure out what "Mailgun Magnificent API" means in a Mailgun HTTP 200-OK API response, it occurs when posting to https://api.mailgun.net/v3/YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME/some/api/endpoint when /some/api/endpoint is not a valid Mailgun API endpoint.

If you are using a client library, there's probably a mistake in your Mailgun sender domain setting. Say you've verified the domain mg.example.com with Mailgun. Examples that can result in "Mailgun Magnificent API" (the exact setting name depends on the library):

• MAILGUN_DOMAIN = mg.example.com # comment—this is a common mistake in dotenv files, which don't usually support inline comments; move the # comment to its own line
• MAILGUN_DOMAIN = mg.example.com/mysite—get rid of the /mysite part

If you are posting directly to the Mailgun API (or developing a client library), there are some additional ways you might get "Mailgun Magnificent API":

• Omitting the API endpoint: https://api.mailgun.net/v3/mg.example.com (as noted in another response)
• Misspelling the endpoint: https://api.mailgun.net/v3/mg.example.com/massages (that should be messages with an e)
• Including a # or ? after your domain: https://api.mailgun.net/v3/mg.example.com #/messages (see the note above about comments in config files)
• Including an extra path after your domain: https://api.mailgun.net/v3/mg.example.com/route/to/my/app/messages

Note that you won't see "Mailgun Magnificent API" if YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME is not a valid sending domain you've registered with Mailgun. (In that case, Mailgun instead responds 404-Not Found).

Faced the same issue while sending emails via api by php curl. I solved it by changing API Base URL https://api.mailgun.net/v3/YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME to https://api.mailgun.net/v3/YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME/messages. It's because their api is not only for sending. Hope this helps.
