Here's sample curl code for sending an email using your custom domain:.
Mailgun requires you to have a custom domain from which to send emails
If you don't have a custom domain name already, obtain one now (Namecheap and GoDaddy are popular)
Namecheap will be used as the domain name provider in this example (https://www.namecheap.com)
Mailgun will be used to send email confirmation and password reset emails
Register at https://mailgun.com/signup
Click on Domains in the upper menu bar
Click on Add New Domain and enter your custom domain name
Click on Domain Verification & DNS
Important Note: You will find information here on configuring TXT and MX records.
However, you will need to make slight modifications to this information in the next steps
Log back into your domain registrar if necessary (assumes Namecheap in this example)
Select Domain List from the left menu bar
Select your custom domain
Click on Manage
Click on Advanced DNS
The following configuration steps are specific to using Namecheap
They require you to make slight but important modifications to the configuration information provided by Mailgun.
If you are using a different registrar, then you can obtain additional information here https://help.mailgun.com/hc/en-us/articles/202052074-How-do-I-verify-my-domain-
Add first TXT record from Mailgun, the one with value that starts with v=spf1, however use @ as the host name instead of using your actual custom domain
Add second TXT record from Mailgun, the one with value that starts with k=rsa;, however, use smtp._domainkey. (i.e. don't append your custom domain). Don't forget to include the trailing .
Add both MX records, but use @ as the hostname in both cases
We skip adding the CNAME record in this example, as this is used for email tracking purposes only
These changes will take up to 30 minutes to propagate before they become available to Mailgun
Click on Domains in the upper menu bar
Select your domain
Click on Domain Verification & DNS
Click on Check DNS Records Now
Confirm that the Current Value field matches the Enter This Value field for both TXT and both MX records
Additional information is available here https://help.mailgun.com/hc/en-us/articles/202052074-How-do-I-verify-my-domain-
If necessary, obtain support from Mailgun and/or your domain registrar
