I made a mistake by deleting a break statement in my code, which caused Mailgun to send out a lot of emails continuously. I can still see more emails waiting in the queue. Is there an option to remove the messages that are pending or halt the sending process from Mailgun? I need to resolve this issue quickly to prevent more emails from reaching my users. Any assistance would be appreciated!
Oof, total nightmare! Been there too. Quick fix - jump into your Mailgun dashboard and kill those API keys right now. That’ll stop new emails from hitting their servers. The queued ones will still go out (sorry), but you’ll stop the bleeding. Also check for webhook failures - those might be triggering retries.
This situation can indeed be quite frustrating. Unfortunately, Mailgun does not provide a way to cancel emails that are already queued, but there are steps you can take to mitigate further issues. Start by disabling your API key or any sending credentials in your Mailgun account to prevent additional emails from being sent. Additionally, review your dashboard for any send schedules you can stop. Monitoring your sending statistics closely will help assess the impact of the queued emails. For future events, consider implementing better error handling and logging in your application to avoid similar mistakes.
Unfortunately, Mailgun doesn’t allow for the cancellation of emails once they’re queued. Once their system accepts the messages, they are sent out regardless. To mitigate the issue, first examine your dashboard for any scheduled sends or campaigns that can be paused immediately. Additionally, if you’re accessing Mailgun through their API, address the code issue as soon as possible and terminate any processes that may still be sending requests. For future reference, consider implementing rate limiting in your application or using Mailgun’s built-in sending limits to avoid this situation. It might also help to contact Mailgun support; while they cannot halt queued emails, they may provide account-specific advice that could be useful.
