Laravel configured with Mailgun but emails are not being sent

I followed all Mailgun setup guidelines and configured Laravel accordingly. Despite receiving successful API responses, no emails are actually delivered. What might I have overlooked?

I experienced a similar issue when configuring Laravel with Mailgun. In my case, the problem was an unnoticed mismatch between the Mailgun domain settings and my actual domain setup. I ultimately found that the API key configuration in my environment file was mistyped, which led to successful API responses without actual email sending. Double-checking DNS settings, making sure the correct region endpoint was used, and ensuring that your sender address is properly verified helped me resolve the issue. I recommend revisiting these configurations carefully and testing them again.

I encountered a similar problem where emails appeared to be sent successfully but weren’t being delivered. After scrutinizing my configuration, I discovered that my issue was linked to the queue setup in Laravel. Although the Mailgun API responded positively, the actual emails were not being dispatched because the queued jobs were never processed. I resolved the issue by ensuring that the queue worker was running and processing jobs. It is also advisable to check Laravel’s log files for any errors that might give further clues to the problem.

hey, i had a simmilar issue where my mailgun domain wasnt properly verified. double-check your sandbox and domain settings along with your api keys. sometimes even a small typo in the credentials can make it seem like everything is ok while emails dont send

In my experience, one subtle issue I encountered was related to how email headers were configured in Laravel. Even though the API response was positive, improper header formatting caused the messages to be silently dropped or flagged by spam filters. It turned out that examining the detailed transaction logs provided by Mailgun revealed inconsistencies in header metadata and the lack of essential sender information. Ensuring that the headers precisely match the authenticated domain and reviewing your sending policies can make a significant difference in email deliverability beyond the basic configuration of Laravel and Mailgun.
