Compatible with Mailgun?
-
Hi there,
I just installed your plugin and it looks pretty solid so far, but I’m wondering if it’s compatible with Mailgun? Specifically, the Mailgun for WordPress plugin?
I tried sending a test notification to myself through Settings > Email Users, and while the page showed that an email was sent to me, nothing is showing up in my inbox and Mailgun isn’t showing any log of the outbound email.
I’m also receiving the wp_mail() appears to be overloaded. warning; would that have something to do with it? All other emails from the site (standard WordPress and Formidable notifications) are sending successfully.
Cheers,
Mary-Ann

I am not familiar with Mailgun but a quick looks implies that Mailgun overloads the wp_mail() function. This is likely the reason you see the wp_mail() appears to be overloaded message. This isn’t necessarily a problem as wp_mail() is what WordPress calls a “pluggable” function which means a plugin, or in some cases, plugins, can overload the definition of wp_mail() and change its behavior.
As long as Mailgun doesn’t change the argument list that WordPress defines for wp_mail(), then it should work. At least in theory. If you look at the documentation for wp_mail() you can see that three of the five parameters can accept either a string or an array as an argument. When a plugin overloads wp_mail() it has to be written such that it handles both. Based on reading the Mailgun plugin page, with the number of installations reported, I would expect that it would handle the parameters correctly no matter how they are passed but I haven’t looked at the code to see.
A simple test would be to temporarily disable Mailgun and see if Email Users is working correctly with the default WordPress provided version of wp_mail().
