Mailgun Mail Driver

This application supports sending emails via the Mailgun driver.

Setup

1. Add the following to your .env file:

   MAIL_MAILER=mailgun
   MAILGUN_DOMAIN=your-mailgun-domain
   MAILGUN_SECRET=your-mailgun-api-key
   MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=your@email.com
   MAIL_FROM_NAME="Your Name"
   

2. Get the API Key from 1Password Bison vault.

3. Ensure the mailgun/mailgun-php package is installed (Bison includes this by default).
4. Configuration is managed in config/mail.php and config/services.php.

All application emails will use Mailgun when these settings are active.

Testing the Mail Driver

The app:test-mail-driver console command allows you to verify your mail driver (including Mailgun) is configured correctly.

Usage:

php artisan app:test-mail-driver recipient@example.com

• Replace recipient@example.com with the email address to send a test email to.
• The command is disabled in the production environment.
• The command validates the email address and sends a test email using the current mail driver.
• If successful, you’ll see: Test email sent.

Prompt for Missing Argument: If you omit the email address, the command will prompt you to enter it interactively.
