I want guest users to send me feedbacks on my website. I used mailgun's api but I keep getting this error anytime I try to send mails. Client error:POST https://api.mailgun.net/v3//messages.mimeresulted in a404 NOT FOUND` response:
The requested (truncated...)`
This is my mail.php
return [
'driver' => env('MAIL_DRIVER'),
'host' => env('MAIL_HOST'),
'port' => 587,
'from' => ['address' => '', 'name' => ''],
'encryption' => env('MAIL_ENCRYPTION'),
'username' => env('MAIL_USERNAME'),
'password' => env(MAIL_PASSWORD),
'sendmail' => '/usr/sbin/sendmail -bs',
'pretend' => env('MAIL_PRETEND', false),
];
This is my .env
MAIL_DRIVER=mailgun
MAIL_DOMAIN=sand*****************.mailgun.org
MAIL_HOST=smtp.mailgun.org
MAIL_PORT=587
[email protected]
MAIL_PASSWORD=*************
MAIL_SECRET=key-*************************
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
Service.php
'mailgun' => [
'domain' => env('MAILGUN_DOMAIN'),
'secret' => env('MAILGUN_SECRET'),
],
Well, their is a wrapper in laravel so I use just my domain like sandbox39495858577585.mailgun.org for the MAILGUN_DOMAIN and your MAIL_USERNAME should be something like postmaster@ sandbox39495858577585.mailgun.org. Mailgun gives you this info on their site. Your mail from info comes from config/mail.php...whatever you have in there.
am currently getting this error after i tried what you just sent Client error:POST https://api.mailgun.net/v3/sandboxe84d31bccc384cf09fdf471d3e277af0.mailgun.org/messages.mimeresulted in a400 BAD REQUESTresponse: { "message": "Business Verification" }
Alright, let's make sure we are on the same page. You are using the domain info provided by mailgun for the sandbox. "default SMTP Login" is your MAIL_USERNAME. "default password" is your MAIL_PASSWORD, "API Key" is your MAILGUN_SECRET and MAILGUN_DOMAIN is the "API Base URL" after the "v3/". Also, which version of Laravel are you using? And, that error message is saying you need to verify your DNS so something is off. Also, you are only allowed five recipients and you are supposed to register them on the site.
all the configurations are right. Am using laravel 5.1. Or is it because i am having this error Your account is temporarily disabled. Business Verification Please contact support to resolve on my mailgun account? I think it is because of that error and if so, how do i fix it?
I have fixed it with gmail
I intended to use gmail instead. I had a few problems with it but instead of setting the driver to smtp, i made it sendmail. and it worked.
I know is a long time ago but i think the problem is you need to add the receipt email address to authorized recipients on the mailgun panel, otherwise you can't sent email to this address, this apply for the free account.
Make sure to check your credentials for the mailgun, make sure that those are correct.
