About Email Override for Mailgun

Replaces WordPress wp_mail() with MailGun's API. Adds a settings page to manage API key, sender info, and test email functionality.

This plugin overrides the default WordPress email sending function with MailGuns’s Mail Send API.

Key Features:

  • Enter your Mailgun API key and domain
  • Customize the “From” email and name
  • Send a test email directly from the settings page

External Services

This plugin integrates with the Mailgun email delivery service to send outgoing emails via its API instead of the default wp_mail() function.

When enabled, the plugin communicates with the following Mailgun API endpoint: https://api.mailgun.net/v3/YOUR_DOMAIN/messages

Data sent to Mailgun includes:
– Sender name and email
– Recipient email(s)
– Email subject
– Message body (text or HTML)
– Optional headers (Cc, Bcc)

The plugin requires a valid Mailgun API key and domain to function. These credentials are stored in your WordPress database and used only to authenticate API requests to Mailgun.

Privacy Notice:
By using this plugin, you agree to Mailgun’s Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Ensure your use of Mailgun complies with local privacy laws and your own data protection policies.
