Greetings,
I hope you're doing well. I'm curious about the possibility of dividing mailgun mailings by domains. Here's the situation: we are using a cPanel server with 120 sites, and we want to set up mailgun to send emails for only 45 out of those 120 domains. Has anyone successfully configured this before? If so, could you kindly share the steps to achieve this?
Thank you in advance.
This is a common requirement, especially for businesses that manage various domains and want to customize their email sending options.
To achieve this goal, you can follow these steps:
1. Verify Domain Ownership: First, ensure that you have verified ownership of all the domains you want to send emails from using mailgun. This typically involves adding DNS records provided by mailgun to each domain's DNS settings.
2. Create Domain-based Routes: In the mailgun control panel, create routes specific to each domain that you want to enable for email sending. A route is a set of conditions that, when met, will trigger the associated actions. You can specify criteria based on the domain, sender, or other attributes of the email.
3. Set up DNS Records: For each domain you want to send emails from, you need to set up the necessary DNS records to allow mailgun to handle the domain's email delivery. These records usually include SPF, DKIM, and MX records. Ensure that these records are correctly configured for each domain.
4. Adjust Mailgun Configuration in cPanel: Within cPanel, configure the email settings to use mailgun's SMTP servers for the domains you want to send emails from. This typically involves entering the mailgun SMTP server details and credentials in the email settings section of cPanel for each domain.
5. Testing and Monitoring: After making the above changes, thoroughly test the email sending and receiving for the configured domains. Monitor the delivery status and check for any issues such as bounced emails or rejections.
6. dоcumentation and Maintenance: dоcument the setup and configuration for future reference. Regularly review the settings to ensure that they remain up to date and aligned with any changes in your infrastructure or email requirements.
By following these steps, you can effectively set up mailgun for specific domains within your cPanel server. This approach allows you to segment and customize your email sending process based on the individual requirements of each domain.
