  • File:OOjs UI icon check-constructive.svg <translate> Done</translate> – <translate> Navigate to <tvar name=special>Special:Version</tvar> on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.</translate>

Configuration

You need to have an account on www.mailgun.com and your custom domain verified with it to use Mailgun for sending/receiving mails. Instructions to do the same can be found in the Mailgun documentation.

Security warning: Please do not paste your Mailgun keys directly in your Mailgun/extension.json

Once you have your domain verified, you will get your Mailgun API key to mass send emails. You should configure your API key and domain in LocalSettings.php:

$wgMailgunAPIKey = "key-asdfasdfasdf";
$wgMailgunDomain = "example.in";

Test your settings

Go to Special:EmailUser and send an email to your own address to verify the working of the mailer. You should be able to see logs of email sessions in your Mailgun logs.
