Is there some kind of GUI tool or interface I can use to send and receive email for Mailgun?
https://mailgun.com
Hi, I read whole documentation but don't understand how do I use Mailgun? is there any body who can tell me how can i use mailgun its really important please help me guyz.... –
I think your answer depends on how you want to send and receive email. Mailgun is built for transactional email, so if you're looking to use it for sending and receiving personal email, that might not be the best fit.
If you want to use mailgun as your SMTP relay for sending transactional mail from your site, you might want to try one of these guides from Rackspace, Mailgun's parent company:
https://community.rackspace.com/products/f/28/t/3897
http://www.rackspace.com/knowledge_center/article/introduction-to-mailgun-email-automation
http://www.rackspace.com/knowledge_center/article/configuring-mailgun-for-your-website
The TL;DR is that you need to sign up for a Mailgun account, verify your domain, and configure your application to use Mailgun as the SMTP relay.
Additionally, if you're building an application from scratch, you can incorporate the Mailgun API to send email directly. Instructions are available in the Mailgun Quick Start guide: https://documentation.mailgun.com/quickstart.html
Hope that helps.

I'd like to send emails programmatically via SendGrid (from admin#mydomain.example.com), but have replies to that email come to my Google Workspaces inbox for admin#mydomain.example.com). I would then like to reply to the customer from Google Workspaces.
The closest question related to this I could find is Setup | G Suite + Sendgrid for transactional email, but that was a fairly different use-case.
So in my usecase, emails to the customer would come from admin#mydomain.example.com via EITHER SendGrid or Google Workspaces.
Here's a article from MailGun that talks about a similiar pattern
My questions:
Will this result in deliverability issues, having emails sometimes come with different signing keys/domains? I don't understand email signing particularly well.
Is there anyway to have replies to the email address go to BOTH SendGrid and Google Workspaces, so I'll have it in my inbox but can also get it posted to a webhook by SendGrid? I think the answer is no, but figured I'd ask.
Any other considerations I should keep in mind for this strategy? Is this a poor idea for some reason?
Thanks!
Yes, this will result in deliverability issues. You should use the same domain for both sending and receiving.
No, you can't have replies go to both. You can have replies go to a webhook, but you can't have them go to both a webhook and a mailbox.
Final consideration: This is a poor idea. You should use the same domain for both sending and receiving. If you want to use SendGrid, you should use SendGrid for both sending and receiving. If you want to use Google Workspaces, you should use Google Workspaces for both sending and receiving. You can't use both at the same time.
Another consideration: If you're sending a lot of emails, you might get flagged as a spammer if you're sending from multiple domains.
The company I work for does something similar that might be helpful for your scenario.
We have a number of systems that send emails via SendGrid e.g. Auth0, Salesforce, various bespoke systems, etc. Some of these use native integrations to SendGrid, some use SMTP relaying, and others send emails programatically via the SendGrid API.
We've implemented sender auth (i.e. DKIM) in SendGrid for our domain e.g. mydomain.example.com, but we don't handle replies in SendGrid as we want replies to go to a different system - specifically our contact center system (which is the main systems our help desk staff use). Help desk staff would then reply to emails from within the contact center system. Note: we needed to configure DKIM for both SendGrid as well as the contact center system (as both currently send emails from mydomain.example.com), but in the future the intent was to implement a SMTP relay in the contact center system (to SendGrid) so that all sending goes through SendGrid.
I'm a bit fuzzy on the fine-grained implementation details of how we handle replies, but essentially we point the (single) MX record for mydomain.example.com to a third-party email protection system which scans the emails and forwards them to Office 365 mailboxes which subsequently forwards them to our contact centre system. I believe Office 365 is really only there for email posterity. AFAIK you should be able to point the MX record to anything that can handle SMTP.
In your scenario you should be able to configure the MX record for the mydomain.example.com domain to point at your Google Workspaces. This will allow you to send emails from SendGrid and use Google Workspaces to handle the sending and receiving of replies.
Not sure if you can configure SMTP relaying in Google Workspaces (i.e. to relay through SendGrid), but this would mean you'd only need to configure DKIM for SendGrid. All emails would be sent by SendGrid and replies would be go to Google Workspaces.
Please how do one send actual mail with Mailtrap? Seems all mail stay at the inbox without actually hitting the recipient.
Mailtrap is a fake SMTP server for development teams to test, view and share emails sent from the development and staging environments. It won’t hit a real recipient. Take a look at SendGrid for sending real email.
Basically, if you're using Mailtrap Email Testing, you cannot send them to the recipients because this solution only helps to test emails on staging. Mailtrap has two products, and if you need to send emails, you should use Email Sending specifically, and there is a real SMTP for the sending purposes.
I'm unable to find any good documentation or examples of how to send an mail to an email address using Yesod.
More practically, I'll extract the information the user typed inside a simple form (name, age, body of message) and send this information as a mail to an email address.
I'm kind of lost in this task.
There are three packages I'd recommend you look at:
mime-mail, which is a package for composing emails and rendering to bytestrings. It can also send via the system sendmail executable.
mime-mail-ses, which can send mail from mime-mail via Amazon SES.
smtp-mail, which can send mail from mime-mail via an SMTP connection.
There is some discussion about sending email in the auth chapter of the Yesod book.
Yesod doesn't have mailing functions. You have to use other packages outside Yesod.

I have questions regarding using domain name while sending email via sendgrid.
1) Sendgrid recommend that one should not use "noreply#domain.com" as their domain. I came to know about it after reading the following documentation:
http://sendgrid.com/blog/why-you-should-not-use-noreplydomain-com-in-your-emails/
Does anyone has any clue which domain names are best handled by Sendgrid? I am thinking to use "info # domain.com" instead of
"noreply#domain.com".
2) By the way, it's the word "noreply" that is creating problem, am I right? I am new to these things and still understanding domain related terms.
Thanks
SendGrid will handle your email the same way regardless of the from domain. The recommendation not to use noreply# is just so the people receiving your email can more easily communicate with you.
SendGrid by default does not provide any mailboxes or inbound mail processing. You can use the Inbound Parse Webhook to receive emails, but that is more intended for use cases where you need to programmatically deal with the incoming email.
In the case of just being able to receive email responses, it is probably easier to create a mailbox via your hosting company, or to use something like a gmail account and have your host/registrar forward your mail there.
Is there a way to use SendGrid's SMTP Integration API for sending bulk mail?
Here's what I have in mind:
I need to send a large bulk of emails to subscribers. Since SendGrid docs recommend using SMTP Integration where possible, I would like to be able to make a single hit SendGrid and let it send the whole bulk based on email list. I know this is possible with REST API.
Is this even possible with SMTP?
Yes, this is possible with the SMTP api as well. You can check out the SMTP developers guide to see how to design this, https://sendgrid.com/docs/API_Reference/SMTP_API/integrating_with_the_smtp_api.html .
You can also check out another Sendgrid user's implementation to send bulk mail with the SMTP api here, http://community.sendgrid.com/sendgrid/topics/_net_c_cshap_api?from_gsfn=true
