Limits

Mailgun allows you to set limits on your subaccounts to help you manage usage and costs. You can create, update, retrieve, and delete limits for various pre-send features such as email previews and email validations.

Operations

Unsubscribe list stores email addresses of recipients who unsubscribed from your mailings by clicking a Mailgun generated unsubscribe link.

Operations

Complaints

Email addresses of recipients who marked your messages as a spam (for ESPs that support FBL).

Operations

Bounces

Bounces - Bounce list stores events of delivery failures due to permanent recipient mailbox errors such as non-existent mailbox. Soft bounces (for example, mailbox is full) and other failures (for example, ESP rejects an email because it thinks it is spam) are not added to the list.

Operations

Allowlist

The allowlist API provides the ability to allowlist specific addresses from being added to bounce list. You can allowlist by domain name (i.e example.com) or by specific address (i.e. alice@example.com). Mailgun doesn’t add an address to bounce list if the address is allowlisted. This API is very useful if you test against your private services and don’t want to constantly clean up bounce lists
