Mailgun & CI / PHP - 【StackMirror】|php|email

Looking at Mailgun as a good solution for sending HTML email to a large number of recipients

How would this be implemented with CI?

I would use MailGun's SMTP delivery with the standard Codeigniter Email library configured for SMTP.

I did something similar with SendGrid recently . Worked a treat with Sendgrid, didn't have to worry about anything apart from authentication to their smtp server. Sendgrid handled the quantity without any problem (though it was way less recipients - about 1k).

Right, thanks for pointing that out! a much easier approach. I would just set the SMTP settings in the CI email config file and then be able to use the CI Email library like usual. Sweet - Quadrant6 2012-04-05 02:16
