Recently, we began to receive a lot of requests from customers to have access to the content of their messages. Internally, we store messages for 3 days for scheduled sends, troubleshooting and compliance verification. We’re happy to announce that we have exposed this feature in our events API!
Mailchimp has recently decided to retire their standalone Mandrill product and fuse their transactional business with their larger Mailchimp product. Due to this we’ve received an influx of questions on what Mailgun has to offer, what pricing looks like, and how to transition. This blog post seeks to address those questions.
We’re excited to announce the integration of Mailgun with Form.io, an open‐source combined FORM and API creation and management platform designed specifically for application developers. Form.io embeds FORMS directly into distributed front-end and mobile applications with a single line of HTML code, while at the same time updating all API interfaces into legacy and 3rd-party systems in real-time.
This post was written and contributed by Major Hayden, Principal Architect at Rackspace. Today’s multi-cloud world allows for lots of flexibility, but infrastructure sprawl creates serious challenges for email delivery.

What about all of those other emails that servers need to send when something goes wrong?
Running your infrastructure in a secure configuration is a daunting task even for security professionals.

This was announced on December 2, 2015. Before the birth of the modern Internet, e-mail was primarily used for exchanging messages across private networks where there was minimal risk of interception. As the use of e-mail proliferated for business and e-commerce purposes, mail delivery continued to rely on protocols that were not designed with information security concerns in mind. Over time, techniques were developed and adopted to improve the security of e-mail as it traveled across the Internet.
The Mailgun WordPress plugin has always been a simple way to add outbound email support to your WordPress server simply, easily and affordably without the hassle or risks of running your own SMTP service. We’ve recently enhanced the plugin by adding support for Mailgun List subscription to your WordPress posts, pages, and widgets.
Many developers using the cloud-based mobile app platform, Appery.io, send e-mails from their apps for registration, confirmation, and everything else. To make it simple to use the Mailgun API in Appery.io, we’ve introduced a Mailgun plug-in in Appery.io.
As the holidays approach, we see the volume of sending increase for some of our customers. Whether for order confirmation emails or marketing emails, it could be detrimental to a business if recipients do not receive their emails – and it does happen. In fact, 17% of email marketing campaigns fail to reach consumers.
We know Mailgun users want to know what’s going on with their email. Back in May, we made some significant updates to our dashboard allowing users to check the delivery performance of their email. Today, we’re pleased to announce updates to our Stats API providing users the opportunity to capture more data about their emails.
