This integration is designed to solve the common problem of emails being marked as spam or blocked by hosting providers who limit the number of emails you can send.
This is EXACTLY the same product as distributed by the developer. Sales Page
1. What it Does
Instead of using your website’s server (which is often slow and unreliable for bulk mail), this add-on routes all your newsletters through Mailgun, a professional delivery service.
-
Bypasses Server Limits: Most hosts limit you to ~100 emails/hour; Mailgun can handle thousands.
-
Improves Deliverability: Mailgun uses high-reputation servers to ensure your emails actually land in the inbox.
-
Bounce Management: It automatically “talks” back to The Newsletter Plugin to flag invalid email addresses so you don’t keep sending to them.
2. Key Features
-
HTTP API Integration: Unlike standard SMTP, it uses an API key, which is faster and more secure.
-
Regional Endpoints: Supports both US and EU (GDPR compliant) Mailgun data centers.
-
Tracking: Works with TNP to provide stats on opens, clicks, and bounces.
-
Batch Sending: Some “Superfast” versions of this add-on allow for sending up to 1,000 addresses in a single API call, drastically speeding up your campaigns.
3. How to Set It Up
To use this, you need The Newsletter Plugin (Core) and the Mailgun Add-on installed.
-
Create a Mailgun Account: You’ll need an active account and a verified sending domain.
-
Get your API Key: Found in your Mailgun dashboard under “API Security.”
-
Configure in WordPress: Go to Newsletter > Delivery > Mailgun (or the specific add-on menu).
-
Verify Domain: Ensure the domain you are sending from in WordPress matches the one you verified in Mailgun.
