Today, we’re excited to launch the new reporting section of the Mailgun dashboard. Our goal was to develop a new set of reports to provide better visibility into the messages that are being sent through the Mailgun service.
On August 4th at 22:20 UTC, Mailgun was alerted to numerous reports of DNS resolution failures for our mailgun.net domain name, which is the primary domain name we use for our API. As we began investigating, we discovered that our domain had been placed in “client hold” state by our domain registrar, Dynadot.
In this hangout, Kelly from Sendwithus gave a demo of the Sendwithus platform and illustrated how you can use your Mailgun API key to take advantage of the cool marketing features Sendwithus has to offer.

This was originally reported on May 31, 2016. Mailgun recently incurred several separate incidents that impacted the availability of our services. We’d like to take this opportunity to provide our customers with visibility around the root cause of these incidents along with details on what we’ve done to address them and ensure they do not occur again in the future.
Mailgun customers appreciate features like our sending infrastructure optimized for fast sending and detailed logs allowing users to look back at messages for 30 days. Templates are something that is not available for storage within Mailgun’s control panel, however, we know many of our customers use templates for a variety of emails to save on time and resources.
ZipBooks, a happy customer of Mailgun, is free accounting and invoicing software with every feature you might expect from a paid application.

There’s also a free iPhone app available for anyone on-the-go.
Mailgun is an email automation service enabling developers to quickly integrate email into their application.
