To send system-generated emails from an email address associated with your organization, you need to create an account with Mailgun. Visit their website at http://www.mailgun.com/ to get started. We use Mailgun for our transactional emails because it offers our clients an affordable way to ensure your emails are delivered. Mailgun provides up to 10,000 emails for free, and beyond that, the cost is very reasonable.
Once you have created your Mailgun account and logged in, click on "Send" on the side menu to expand and show more options then click on "Sending" and select "Domains". Click on the URL under the Name column in the domains table. Alternatively, if you do not have a custom domain set up, you can use the Mailgun Subdomains option.
Once you click on the domain name, you’ll be redirected to a page displaying your domain Information. To get the SMTP credentials click on the SMTP credentials tab. If you do not remember the password, you can use the option of resetting the password.
To fill in your Email Settings, navigate to the main menu under “Options” and click on “Account Settings.” Then, click on the “Integrations” tab.
Click "View integration" on the Mailgun card shown in the red box above to fill in your Mailgun information.
The From Name and From Address should be your organization’s name and email address. The hostname is the SMTP hostname, the login is the Default SMTP Login, and the password is the Default Password from Mailgun.
Once you’ve filled in all the information, click Update. Now, HelpYouSponsor will send emails through your Mailgun account.
