Mailgun 404 error with Pythonanywhere

I'm trying to use mailgun in my Django project hosted on Pythonanywhere.

In my WSGI file, I have:

os.environ['DJANGO_MAILGUN_SERVER_NAME'] = 'https://api.mailgun.net/v3/sandboxnumbersomething.mailgun.org/messages'
os.environ['DJANGO_MAILGUN_API_KEY'] ='mykey'

and my settings are:

# EMAIL
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = env('DJANGO_DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL',
                         default='Apitrak <noreply@apitrak.com>')
EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django_mailgun.MailgunBackend'
MAILGUN_ACCESS_KEY = env('DJANGO_MAILGUN_API_KEY')
MAILGUN_SERVER_NAME = env('DJANGO_MAILGUN_SERVER_NAME')

When my app fire an email (for example at signup), I have a 404 error:

MailgunAPIError at /accounts/email/

<Response [404]>

I've tried a curl in the virtualenv of my WebApp:

curl -s --user 'api:key-NUMBERS' https://api.mailgun.net/v3/NUMBERS.mailgun.org/messages -F from='Excited User <excited@samples.mailgun.org>' -F to='vincent@vincentle.fr'  -F subject='Hello'  -F text='Testing some Mailgun awesomeness!'

And this works OK.

Solution

  • The setting DJANGO_MAILGUN_SERVER_NAME should be a domain name, not a url.

    Try the following:

    os.environ['DJANGO_MAILGUN_SERVER_NAME'] = '<sandboxnumbersomething>.mailgun.org'

    From the readme:

    Replace SERVER-NAME with the last part of your "API Base URL" (e.g. https://api.mailgun.net/v3/<your_server_name>), also found in your Mailgun account details.
