Mailgun Changes to SMTP password

    I received this message from Mailgun:

    “Starting November 1, 2021, we will no longer return a value for the smtp_password parameter in GET /domains and /domains/ API calls. After this change, you will no longer be able to view the SMTP password in plain text and must store the password on your end – ideally using a secure password manager. Depending on your configuration, any applications reliant on the smtp_password parameter could throw errors.Applications that are expecting the plain text password in the API response will need to be updated to no longer rely on the password in order to function correctly.”

    Does this affect anything with how the “WP-Mail-SMTP” plugin will function? Will we need to change anything? Thanks!!

    Hi @bobimg,

    Thanks for reaching out! As I have checked with our developers, the WP Mail SMTP plugin does not use Mailgun’s Domains API. We use the Mailgun Messages API endpoint to send emails.

    So the change that you have mentioned, will not have any impact on our plugin’s Mailgun mailer.

    I hope this helps.
