Mailgun for your WordPress newsletter
Send your WordPress newsletter through the Mailgun API, from your own Mailgun sending domain instead of your web host.
- Everything sent through Mailgun: campaigns, automation emails, sign-up confirmations and test emails.
- Authenticated: emails are signed for the domain you verified with SPF and DKIM.
- Stats in MailerPress: opens and clicks are tracked by MailerPress, not read from Mailgun.
Requires MailerPress Pro.
Your data region: US or EU
Your emails go through the Mailgun API that matches the region where your domain is hosted.
- Region field: choose US or EU in the Mailgun settings of MailerPress.
- EU domains: a domain created in Mailgun’s EU region keeps sending from the EU.
- Wrong region: it can cause a “domain not found” error.
- Test email: shows that error before you send a campaign.
Higher volumes, paced to your plan
MailerPress Pro offers three Mailgun profiles, so you can send faster as your Mailgun plan grows.
- Balanced (Recommended): 75 emails every 5 minutes, about 900 an hour.
- Performance (Foundation+ plans): 200 emails every 3 minutes, up to 4,000 an hour.
- Example: a 10,000-contact newsletter goes out in about two and a half hours on Performance.
- High Performance (Scale plans): 3,600 emails an hour.
- Where to set it: MailerPress > Settings > Sending frequency.
Requires MailerPress Pro.
Permanent failures handled for you
Addresses that fail permanently get the Bounced status and drop out of your next campaigns.
- In MailerPress: turn on Enable bounce tracking.
- In Mailgun: add the MailerPress URL to the Permanent failure event of your domain.
- Signing key: with the Mailgun Webhook Signing Key saved, notifications not from Mailgun are rejected.
Requires MailerPress Pro.
