SilverStripe Mailer for sending mail via the Mailgun API

This module lets you send SilverStripe emails through the official Mailgun PHP library, falling back to PHP's built-in sendmail() if Mailgun is unreachable.

Requirements

• PHP 5.4+
• SilverStripe ~3.1
• Mailgun-PHP
• (optional) set up a manual cron task, or use silverstripe-crontask or silverstripe-queuedjobs(?) to keep log synced

Installation

Install with Composer. Learn how

composer require "micschk/silverstripe-mailer-mailgun:~1.0"

Documentation

You will need to provide a Mailgun API key for a verified domain that you have set up in your Mailgun account.

Also, if you want to synchronize the Mailgun log, you will need to set up some way to run/ Mailgun_SyncLogTask::poll() every not and then. This gets the Mailgun events log from the API and saves it to the local database so you can see when messages got sent, openend and/or bounced etc.

Example configuration

In your project's _config/config.yml file:

MailgunMailer:
  api_key: 'key-goes-here'
  api_domain: 'verified-domain'

In your project's _config.php file:

Injector::inst()->registerService(new MailgunMailer(), 'Mailer');

or:

// Send email through Mailgun in live environment only
if (Director::isLive()) {
	Injector::inst()->registerService(new MailgunMailer(), 'Mailer');
}
