I set up Mailgun in my Laravel system with environment variables (see the example below) and encountered a 400 ‘Business Verification’ error:
MAIL_MAILER=mg_service
MAIL_SERVER=smtp.mail.mailgun.org
MAIL_DOMAIN=mycustomdomain.mailgun.org
MAIL_API=secretapikey
How can I resolve this issue?
In my experience, encountering a ‘Business Verification’ error while integrating Mailgun with Laravel usually points toward an issue with domain configuration and account verification on Mailgun’s side. It is essential to ensure that your Mailgun domain is fully verified within your Mailgun dashboard and that the API key used matches the one associated with that domain. Adjusting your .env settings can help, but verifying your domain status, checking for any additional configuration or account restrictions, and waiting a brief period may resolve the problem. Consistency in configuration between Laravel and Mailgun is key.
Based on my experience, resolving the Business Verification error involves reviewing both the Mailgun dashboard and your Laravel configuration. I noticed that typos in environment variable names or using an incorrect mailer setting may cause Mailgun to misinterpret settings. Verifying that the Mailgun account is fully set up to use your custom domain is key; make certain that DNS records for domain verification and SSL are properly published as per Mailgun documentation. Additionally, consider using the Mailgun API integration available in Laravel for more seamless connectivity.
