I recently set up Mautic version 6 on my server and I’m having trouble figuring out how to configure Mailgun as my email service provider. When I go through the configuration settings, I can’t seem to find a direct option for Mailgun integration.
I expected to see Mailgun listed alongside other email providers in the configuration panel, but it’s not there. I’ve checked the email settings multiple times and looked through various menus.
Has anyone successfully configured Mailgun with Mautic? Is there a specific plugin or workaround needed? I’m wondering if this feature was removed in newer versions or if I’m missing something obvious.
Any guidance would be really helpful. I need to get email campaigns working soon and Mailgun is my preferred service.
Mailgun changed how they integrate with Mautic around version 5, which surprised a lot of users. SMTP works as a workaround, but there’s another option if you’d rather use API-based sending. Go to Mautic’s email settings and pick ‘Other SMTP Server,’ then use Mailgun’s HTTP endpoint instead of regular SMTP. You’ll get better delivery tracking and error handling this way. Don’t forget to whitelist your server’s IP in Mailgun’s authorized IPs section - people miss this all the time and then wonder why authentication fails. If you’re doing high-volume sends, the API method beats SMTP for bulk campaigns.
Hit the same problem upgrading from Mautic 4 to 6. Yeah, they ditched the dedicated Mailgun integration - threw me for a loop too. You’ll need to set it up through regular SMTP instead. Jump into your Mailgun dashboard and grab the SMTP credentials from your domain settings. In Mautic’s email config, pick SMTP and plug in: smtp.mailgun.org, port 587, TLS encryption. Use your actual Mailgun username/password, not API keys. I’d also set up a dedicated sending domain in Mailgun first and verify it properly. Been running this setup for 6 months now - campaigns are solid, no delivery problems.
yea, i had the same prob! just use the smtp cred from mailgun in mautic. and also check ur firewall, that was my issue. hope this helps!
