SMTP settings at a glance

SettingValue
Serversmtp.mailgun.org (US) · smtp.eu.mailgun.org (EU)
Ports587 (STARTTLS, recommended) · 2525 (fallback) · 465 (SSL) · 25
Usernamepostmaster@your-domain.com (your full SMTP login)
PasswordYour domain's SMTP password (set in Step 2)

⚠️ Region matters. If you created your domain in Mailgun's EU region, you must use smtp.eu.mailgun.org. US domains use smtp.mailgun.org. Using the wrong one is the #1 cause of login failures.

Step 1 — Add & verify your domain

  1. In Mailgun: Sending → Domains → Add New Domain.
  2. Mailgun shows DNS records — SPF (TXT), DKIM (TXT), and an optional tracking CNAME. Add them at your DNS host.
  3. Click Verify. (DNS can take up to 24–48 hours.)

A new account also has a sandbox domain that only emails up to 5 authorized recipients — use your own verified domain for real sending.

Step 2 — Get your SMTP credentials

  1. Sending → Domains → click your domain → SMTP credentials tab.
  2. The default login is postmaster@your-domain.com.
  3. Click Reset Password, set or generate a password (the new password is shown once — copy it immediately).

Step 3 — Paste into Mailbo

  1. Settings → SMTP & sending → click the Mailgun tile.
  2. Sender: From email (on your domain) + From name.
  3. Credentials: Username = postmaster@your-domain.com, Password = the SMTP password from Step 2. Pick the matching region if asked.
  4. Save, then Send test email.

Troubleshooting

ProblemFix
Login failsWrong region host (EU vs US), or you used your dashboard password instead of the SMTP password.
Goes to sandbox onlyYou're sending from the sandbox domain — switch to your verified domain.
Domain won't verifyDNS not propagated yet, or a duplicate SPF record — merge into one.
