Mailgun

To sign up for a Mailgun account, go to the signup page.

Custom Domain

	1. Click on `Add New Domain` button under your Domains panel. 
	2. Follow the steps accordingly

You can use the default domain that was provided by Mailgun if you do not have your own domain.

Routes Configuration

After setting up your domain, in order for you to receive email, you have to configure the routes. Routes act as rules that will filter through all the incoming mails and execute actions on matched conditions.

In your Routes panel, simply click on Create Route button and follow the steps accordingly.

Mailgun Route

The above route will match all names ending with @inboxkitten.com, store them in the storage that mailgun provides (only for 3 days) and stop processing any other rules once this route is matched.

Mailgun API Key

You can locate your Mailgun API key by clicking on the domain that you are managing. In it you can see your API key.
