Mailgun Service

Email validation

As stated before, Discourse service uses Mailgun cloud service to provide the communications (most often email based notifications about Discourse events) with its subscribers. Such usage assigns Mailgun as the email sender, so our first step in validating Mailgun's setup is described in the Sending email article.

There is at least one use case scenario, where Mailgun has to receive the email sent to Discourse admin - this happens in the process of Discourse service configuration, where the newly configured Discourse server instance prompts for the credentials of the Admin account and email address so it can send the activation email to that user - check the Receiving email article about that.

Mailgun's quick start guides, sending email and receiving email articles can be used to find more information.
