I think I have just reached my highest level of frustration with configuring mailgun :frowning:. Please I need help. This is my problem: I installed discourse successfully after several failed attempt with configuring smtp credentials and the problem I seem to have is sending activation links to n…

Mailgun now requires a credit card number to deliver mail. If you give them a credit card number, it’ll work.

Ahh. a very helpful, very timely tip actually. Thanks! :rocket: I don’t know what happened there for me but my mailgun account was indeed still sending out emails. I guess I am grandfathered in with an older account or something. But without providing a credit card I didn’t have access to the mail…

I think the policy changed for new accounts in January.

[image] pfaffman: I think the policy changed for new accounts in January. Wow. So if I add my credit card, will I still be charged if I don’t send up to 10,000 a month?

Per Mailgun dashboard, “You won’t be charged until you surpass your free allocation”

Right. It’s always made sense to give them a credit card anyway, as they turn more stuff on if you do. IMHO, it’s sort of crazy that they every delivered mail for free without any proof of ability to pay. You can see their pricing page for more info.

Ok guys. I will go ahead and add my credit card.

It’s working now :grinning:. But I have another issue now :expressionless: The link to activate the account does not go to the homepage of the forum. Instead it takes me to this link: http://email.rookiecave.com [image] Any thought on this? Thanks

What’s your DISCOURSE_HOSTNAME in your app.yml?

My discourse hostname is www.rookiecave.com
