\nHey folks,\n\nI'm trying to send emails using Mailgun and NodeMailer. I switched from Gmail due to their new security changes, and although I've set up a Mailgun account with Business verification, I'm still encountering issues.\n\nThe error indicates that the requested URL is missing, which makes me suspect that I haven't configured a domain yet, and it's not defaulting to Mailgun’s sandbox domain.\n\nCould someone guide me on how to test sending emails with Mailgun using NodeMailer, particularly using the provided sandbox domain?\n\nAny assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!\n
hey, tried mailgun/nodemailer combo n stuff. double-check the sandbox domain & api key. i’d try mailgun-js package if nodemailer transport gives probs. hope that helps, cheers.
I’ve been through a similar situation when transitioning from Gmail to Mailgun with NodeMailer. Here’s what worked for me:
First, make sure you’ve properly set up your Mailgun sandbox domain. In your Mailgun dashboard, find the sandbox domain details - you’ll need the SMTP credentials and domain name.
In your NodeMailer configuration, use the Mailgun SMTP settings:
host: ‘smtp.mailgun.org’
port: 587
auth: {
user: ‘[email protected]’,
pass: ‘your-smtp-password’
}
Double-check that you’re using the correct credentials and domain. Also, remember that with the sandbox domain, you can only send to authorized recipients.
If you’re still having issues, try enabling debug logging in NodeMailer to get more detailed error information. This helped me pinpoint the exact problem in my setup.
Hope this helps you get things working!
Having dealt with Mailgun and NodeMailer integration myself, I can offer some insights. Ensure you’ve correctly configured your Mailgun API key and domain in your NodeMailer transport setup. Here’s a basic configuration template:
const nodemailer = require(‘nodemailer’);
const mg = require(‘nodemailer-mailgun-transport’);
const auth = {
auth: {
api_key: ‘your-mailgun-api-key’,
domain: ‘your-domain.com’
}
}
let transporter = nodemailer.createTransport(mg(auth));
This setup should work with both sandbox and custom domains. If you’re still encountering issues, double-check your API key and domain settings in the Mailgun dashboard. Also, verify that your sender email matches the authorized senders list in Mailgun.
Remember to handle promises or use async/await when sending emails to properly catch any errors.
