Mailgun is an email delivery service aimed at sending transactional email for software developers. If you are not already using Mailgun to send email, then you don’t need or want this plugin. If you do use the Mailgun service, this plugin makes it easy to configure WordPress to send through your existing Mailgun domains. That’s the only reason for it. It does that quite well.
Many of the negative reviews seem to be for some other plugin, as they refer to functions that this plugin does not provide such as web forms, email delivery logs, validation, etc. Ignore such reviews, they’re simply irrelevant.
One star taken off for being slow to update, but it’s not a deal-breaker.

I don’t know why this plugin has so many bad reviews – I use it on all my sites and it’s working well for me, so I come to do a good deed and leave a positive review here.
Mailgun offers a free plan with 1000 emails for free per month, even though they made it tricky to activate this plan now.
PS: Mailgun, you should add the feature to send a test email to the recipient of our choice, so we can use tools to check deliverability

Not sure why this plugin has such poor reviews. It’s been nothing but smooth sailing for us for many years using it to provide reliable email sending from many dozens of sites for our agency’s clients.

We use the plugin (with the Mailgun API functionality) since begin of 2023. All works out-of-the box. After adding the ‘mg_use_recipient_vars_syntax’ hook (see FAQ/description) to our functions.php file, also the Mailgun batch sending functionality works as expected.

Easy to set up and it always works.

Numerous buggy releases, like they don’t test it at all.
Fixes take LITERALLY YEARS to implement.
Overall, the worst support of any paid product that I have ever used.

Is this plugin still being supported? It stopped working with our upgrade to MariaDB 10.3

IT worked very well when I connected with HTTP API using my mail gun account. It was also easy to setup. Right now it seems to up to date with the latest version of wordpress and php.
However I gave it 4 stars because it does not have a place to view logs unlike the “post smtp” plugin.

Still no update to the plugin despite numerous requests. Now well out of date and customers are getting messages from WordPress that the plugin is abandoned.

I have wasted 2 days trying to get this plugin to work and it won’t. There are better plugins

The plugin works flawlessly. Good job.
However, the version on www.remarpro.com is still 1.7.1, even though I got updates up to 1.7.3. I wonder how and why.
Thank you maintainer!

Don’t use this plugin, it’s no longer maintained. It hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress.

Serious bugs remain unresolved. Tries to use system temp directory (open_basedir restriction). Default password reset emails don’t work. Nobody seems interested.

This has been a very largely set-it-and-forget-it plugin for the past 3 years for us. We use it to send DMARC-enabled emails from our WordPress contact form. Mailgun has been a great web service and costs pennies or a few dollars a month. We recently started using MailJet as well for sending bulk mailings. If you’re sending email in 2020, you probably want to use DMARC to ensure your mail is delivered and that your return address can’t be spoofed. If you’re using DMARC, Mailgun is fantastic.
It’s great to use the same solution for our WordPress sites as for our application products! Also to be able to create subdomains for each so that mail from each source is certified independently of the other sources.

Mailgun is a really good SMTP service!
We use mailgun across more than 100 installations and the setup goes fast.
The user management for our analysts, developers etc. is also really good, because it saves time for developer that needs to serve informationen to non-techs ..
I will gladly recommend this to others!

Thank you so much! It is working perfect!

I love the simplicity of this plugin to integrate Mailgun into your WordPress installation. As long is as Single Site.
The reason I’m giving 4 stars is that not all the values that can be configured with a single site cannot be configured with Multisite.
When I set Mailgun to be used on a WordPress website, I prefer to Overwrite the “FROM” address. It is essential especially that there are plugins that force the “From” to use the current user e-mail. And I prefer not to.

I have some sites with Cloudways and I needed for WordPress and forms there to get their email out. This has been working great. A lot of extra work for me on the back end compared to traditional websites is the only downside. Mailgun and their plugin seemed to be the easiest setup I tried.

Easy way to have 100% deliverability for your password resets for free.

v1.15.12 broke the plugin’s ability to send Email seemingly for every single existing installation. It was immediately reported here on the support forum but it took four additional releases and almost two weeks to get the problem resolved. No official apology, either. This is unacceptable for a mission-critical service.
Stats show only 26k downloads in the past week, meaning up to half of the 60k installs are likely broken. Mistakes happen, but the utter lack of communication from a company that’s all about making communication more reliable is a real disappointment.

good plugin, disappointed with the handling of the regions being added in august 2018 though, very unsatisfactory upgrade path for the plugin during that process, created a lot of extra work and support basically just said tough, go and resave the settings but not until after days of telling them that the plugin was not functioning correctly.
one would have thought that with an installed base of tens of thousands and given this plugin is made by mailgun the testing would have been more thorough to avoid such stuff ups.

Works great every time. If your email forms don’t send, setup Mailgun and your problems are solved.
Update 2/14/2021 – This plugin says it hasn’t been updated in a while, but it has. It still works great and is still a must have to get contact forms to send emails without issue.

This plugin (which we found out too late is NOT the official Mailgun plugin) made thousands of unnecessary validation API calls, totally out of proportion with the traffic to our site.
This resulted in an invoice of nearly $450 from Mailgun – all because of this plugin’s crappy behaviour.
Be aware!

The plugin works fine to use your Mailgun account to send emails from other mail managers. But my main interest is updating Mailgun lists. The list shortcodes work but there is no security, such as Recaptcha. I find that unacceptable and so can’t use it to directly add list members from my site.

No podía hacerlo funcionar hasta que me di cuenta que si uno no pone los detalles de la tarjeta de crédito aun estando en el plan gratuito no puedes usarlo. Eso me pareció deshonesto y opté por otra solución.
Ahora me encuentro con que no me dan de baja la cuenta. Suerte que no llegué a poner los datos de tarjeta pero una tremenda desilusión.
Sé que muchos lo usan y están contentos pero al menos, por lo menos mínimamente, podrían dejar más claro este método antes de que uno haga una cuenta.

I could not be happier with Mailgun! Regardless of the form plugin I use, sometimes email from a WordPress website doesn’t work. With Mailgun I have a solution for all of my client sites. The stress of troubleshooting email is over.

The plugin works great for it’s basic feature of replacing wp_mail().
Unfortunately didn’t have a chance to try the mailing list features.
Rating: 5 stars
Simple to use and uses wp_mail function without issue.
Have been impressed with the support which resolved a content-type issue within a day of reporting.
Can recommend Mailgun and this plugin.
Thanks for supporting this Mailgun.

Any idea?
Thank you very much!
