PASS 2: PRIMARY ANALYSIS

Core Capability Deep Dive

2.1 Email Sending Architecture

Sending Flow (Sequential Process):

1. Client Application initiates HTTP POST to Send API
   ↓
2. Mailgun validates API credentials and domain
   ↓
3. Message normalized to internal format
   ↓
4. DKIM signature computed and attached
   ↓
5. Message queued for delivery (FIFO)
   ↓
6. SMTP connection established to recipient MX server
   ↓
7. Recipients evaluated against bounce/complaint lists
   ↓
8. Message transmission with retry logic
   ↓
9. Webhook event generated for outcome
   ↓
10. Event indexed in ElasticSearch logs

Delivery Queue Performance:

Average delivery time: 5-60 seconds
Burst capacity: Scales to thousands of emails per second
Queuing mechanism: Distributed across multiple server regions
Failure recovery: Automatic retry with exponential backoff

2.2 Email Routing System (Incoming Mail Processing)

Route Matching Algorithm:

Routes are evaluated in priority order against incoming message recipients:

Route Definition Structure:
- Priority: 0-1000 (higher = evaluated first)
- Expression: Regular expression matching recipient address
- Action: HTTP POST, store, drop, or redirect
- Description: Human-readable route documentation
Expression Matching Examples:
- match_recipient(".*@example.com") - All emails to example.com domain
- match_recipient("support-.*@example.com") - Prefix matching
- match_header("subject", ".*invoice.*") - Header-based routing
- match_recipient("user\\+.*@example.com") - Plus addressing
Route Actions:
- HTTP POST Action: POST parsed message to webhook URL (custom parsing)
- Store Action: Retain message for 3 days (retrieve via Events API)
- Redirect Action: Forward to another email address
- Drop Action: Silently discard matching messages
Message Parsing (Automatic):
- Extraction of plain text and HTML bodies
- Signature detection and optional stripping
- Quoted part identification and separation
- Attachment parsing and base64 encoding
- Header extraction and indexing
Webhook Payload Structure (Route Action):

{
  "timestamp": 1530000000,
  "token": "abcdef1234567890abcdef",
  "signature": "hexdigest_of_timestamp_token",
  "recipient": "user@example.com",

2.4 Detailed Analytics and Tracking

Event Types and Granularity:

Delivery Events:
- accepted: Mailgun received the message from your application
- delivered: Successfully delivered to recipient mailbox
- failed: Permanent delivery failure (hard bounce)
- dropped: Message dropped (spam filters, bounce list, etc.)
Engagement Events:
- opened: Recipient opened email (if tracking enabled)
- clicked: Recipient clicked tracked link
- complained: Recipient marked as spam
- unsubscribed: Recipient clicked unsubscribe link
Bounce Management:

- Automatic enforcement: Unsubscribed members skip receiving messages
Bulk Member Operations:
- Add/update up to 1,000 members per API call
- Batch upload via form-data multipart
- Format: JSON array of member objects
List-Level Configuration:
- access_level: readonly - Owner can modify, members cannot
- access_level: members - Members can view and modify
- access_level: everyone - Public read/write access
- reply_preference: list - Replies go to list address
- reply_preference: sender - Replies go to original sender
Sending to Lists:
- Endpoint: POST /v3/{domain}/messages
- Recipient: {list_address} (treated as single recipient)
- Expansion: List automatically expands to all subscribed members
- Personalization: Custom variables injected into message template

Example List Expansion:

POST /v3/mycompany.mailgun.org/messages
  to: developers@mycompany.mailgun.org (50 subscribers)

Result: Message sent to 50 individual recipients
Each recipient sees: To: developers@mycompany.mailgun.org
BCC used internally for actual delivery

PASS 3: RIGOR & REFINEMENT

Advanced Features and Detailed Specifications

3.1 Delivery Rate Optimization and Bounce Handling

Bounce Classification System:

Hard Bounces (Permanent):
- Invalid recipient address
- Domain does not exist
- Recipient rejected at SMTP level
- Action: Automatically added to bounce list, no retry
- Duration: 24-hour suppression minimum
Soft Bounces (Temporary):
- Mailbox full/over quota
- Server temporarily unavailable
- Too many concurrent connections
- Action: Automatic retry for 24-48 hours
- Backoff: Exponential increase between attempts
Complaints (Abuse Reports):
- Recipient reported as spam to ISP
- Automatically added to complaint suppression list
- Detection: Via feedback loops from major ISPs
- Action: No further sending to this address
Bounce List Management:
- Endpoint: GET /v3/{domain}/bounces
- Filtering: By type, timestamp, address
- Deletion: DELETE /v3/{domain}/bounces/{address} (manual recovery)
- Retention: Maintains historical bounce data

Bounce List Response Structure:

{
  "items": [
    {
      "address": "user@example.com",
      "type": "permanent",
      "code": "550",
      "error": "user unknown",
      "created_at": "Fri, 01 Jan 2024 00:00:00 UTC"
    }
  ],
  "paging": {
    "first": "https://api.mailgun.net/v3/mycompany.mailgun.org/bounces?page=first",
    "last": "https://api.mailgun.net/v3/mycompany.mailgun.org/bounces?page=last",
    "next": "https://api.mailgun.net/v3/mycompany.mailgun.org/bounces?page=next",
    "previous": "https://api.mailgun.net/v3/mycompany.mailgun.org/bounces?page=previous"
  }
}

3.2 Route Condition Programming (Advanced)

Conditional Route Expressions:

Mailgun supports sophisticated route conditions using match functions:

Recipient Matching:

match_recipient("^support-.*@example\\.com$")
// Matches: support-billing@example.com, support-technical@example.com
// Does not match: support@example.com

Header Matching:

match_header("subject", ".*urgent.*")
match_header("from", ".*boss@.*")
match_header("x-priority", "1|2")

Priority-Based Routing:

Priority 100: match_recipient("^vip-.*@example.com$") → Store
Priority 50: match_recipient(".*@example.com") → HTTP POST to webhook
Priority 10: match_recipient(".*") → Drop silently

Complex Logic:

// Requires BOTH conditions:
match_recipient("^support@.*") AND match_header("subject", ".*ticket.*")

// Multiple conditions with priority:
If: support@example.com AND subject contains "urgent" → Priority 100 (HTTP)
Else if: support@example.com → Priority 50 (Store)
Else: Priority 0 (Drop)

3.3 Parsing Incoming Mail (Advanced)

- Separate stripped-signature field for analysis
- Optional: Strip signature before webhook delivery
Quoted Part Handling:
- Previous message text identified and isolated
- Provided as stripped-html and stripped-text
- Enables conversation threading without duplication
- Critical for support ticket integration
Attachment Processing:

5.2 Webhook Processing Architecture

Event-Driven Message Tracking:

Webhook Configuration:
- Endpoint: https://your-app.com/webhooks/mailgun
- Events: Subscribe to: delivered, opened, clicked, bounced, failed, dropped, complained
- Retry: Automatic retry with exponential backoff (24-hour window)
- Timeout: 10-second response required
Webhook Handler Implementation Pattern:

from flask import Flask, request, jsonify
from hmac import compare_digest
import hashlib
import json

app = Flask(__name__)
MAILGUN_API_KEY = os.getenv('MAILGUN_API_KEY')
MAILGUN_WEBHOOK_KEY = os.getenv('MAILGUN_WEBHOOK_KEY')

def verify_mailgun_webhook(token, timestamp, signature):
    """Verify HMAC signature from Mailgun"""
    message = ''.join([timestamp, token])
    expected_signature = hmac.new(
        key=MAILGUN_WEBHOOK_KEY.encode(),
        msg=message.encode(),
        digestmod=hashlib.sha256
    ).hexdigest()

    return compare_digest(signature, expected_signature)

@app.route('/webhooks/mailgun', methods=['POST'])
def handle_mailgun_webhook():
    """Process incoming Mailgun event"""

    # Extract signature components
    token = request.form.get('token')
    timestamp = request.form.get('timestamp')
    signature = request.form.get('signature')

    # Verify authenticity
    if not verify_mailgun_webhook(token, timestamp, signature):
        return jsonify({'error': 'Invalid signature'}), 403

    # Parse event data
    event_data = json.loads(request.form.get('event-data', '{}'))
    event_type = event_data.get('event')
    message_id = event_data.get('message', {}).get('id')
    recipient = event_data.get('recipient')

    # Route by event type
    if event_type == 'delivered':
        handle_delivery_event(message_id, recipient)
    elif event_type == 'bounced':
        handle_bounce_event(message_id, recipient, event_data)
    elif event_type == 'opened':
        handle_open_event(message_id, recipient)
    elif event_type == 'clicked':
        handle_click_event(message_id, recipient, event_data)
    elif event_type == 'complained':
        handle_complaint_event(message_id, recipient)

    # Acknowledge receipt to Mailgun
    return jsonify({'status': 'ok'}), 200

def handle_delivery_event(message_id, recipient):
    """Update database with delivery confirmation"""
    Message.query.filter_by(mailgun_id=message_id).update({
        'status': 'delivered',
        'delivered_at': datetime.utcnow()
    })
    db.session.commit()

def handle_bounce_event(message_id, recipient, event_data):
    """Handle bounce and manage suppression"""
    bounce_type = event_data.get('bounce', {}).get('type')

    if bounce_type == 'permanent':
        # Add to permanent suppress list
        SupressedEmail.create(
            email=recipient,
            reason='bounce',
            bounce_type='permanent'
        )
    else:
        # Log soft bounce for monitoring
        Message.query.filter_by(mailgun_id=message_id).update({
            'status': 'soft_bounce'
        })

    db.session.commit()

5.3 Email Parsing for Support Tickets

Incoming Email Integration Pattern:

Customer sends reply to support ticket notification email
    ↓
Email arrives at support@tickets.company.mailgun.org
    ↓
Mailgun Route matches: match_recipient("support@tickets.company.mailgun.org")
    ↓
Mailgun parses: body-plain, body-html, attachments, quoted parts
    ↓
HTTP POST to webhook: /webhooks/mailgun/inbound
    ↓
InfraFabric extracts:
  - Customer email (from field)
  - Message body (stripped-text, stripped-html)
  - Ticket ID (from headers or subject parsing)
  - Attachments (base64 decoded and stored)
    ↓
Update ticket: Append comment, add attachments, mark replied
    ↓
Send confirmation email to customer

Route Configuration (Example):

Priority: 100
Expression: match_recipient("support-\\d+@tickets\\.company\\.mailgun.org")
Action: HTTP POST
URL: https://api.company.com/webhooks/mailgun/inbound

Inbound Handler Implementation:

@app.route('/webhooks/mailgun/inbound', methods=['POST'])
def handle_inbound_email():
    """Process incoming email for support ticket system"""

    # Extract from Mailgun webhook payload
    sender = request.form.get('from')
    recipient = request.form.get('recipient')
    subject = request.form.get('subject')
    message_id = request.form.get('message-id')
    body_text = request.form.get('stripped-text', '')
    body_html = request.form.get('stripped-html', '')
    attachment_count = int(request.form.get('attachment-count', 0))

    # Extract ticket ID from recipient (support-12345@tickets.company.mailgun.org)
    ticket_match = re.search(r'support-(\d+)@', recipient)
    if not ticket_match:
        return jsonify({'error': 'Invalid ticket format'}), 400

    ticket_id = int(ticket_match.group(1))

    # Process attachments
    attachments = []
    for i in range(1, attachment_count + 1):
        attachment_data = request.form.get(f'attachment-{i}')
        attachment_meta = json.loads(request.form.get(f'attachment-{i}-meta', '{}'))

        if attachment_data:
            filename = attachment_meta.get('filename', f'attachment-{i}')
            content = base64.b64decode(attachment_data)

            # Store attachment
            attachment = TicketAttachment.create(
                ticket_id=ticket_id,
                filename=filename,
                content=content,
                mime_type=attachment_meta.get('content-type')
            )
            attachments.append(attachment)

    # Create ticket reply
    reply = TicketReply.create(
        ticket_id=ticket_id,
        from_email=sender,
        subject=subject,
        body_text=body_text,
        body_html=body_html,
        mailgun_message_id=message_id,
        attachments=attachments,
        created_at=datetime.utcnow()
    )

    # Update ticket status
    ticket = Ticket.query.get(ticket_id)
    ticket.status = 'replied'
    ticket.last_activity = datetime.utcnow()
    db.session.commit()

    # Send acknowledgment to customer
    send_confirmation_email(sender, ticket_id)

    return jsonify({'status': 'processed', 'ticket_id': ticket_id}), 200

6.2 SMTP Configuration

SMTP Server Details:

Parameter	Value
Host	smtp.mailgun.org
Port (TLS)	587
Port (SSL)	465
Port (Plain)	25
Username	postmaster@yourdomain.com
Password	SMTP password (from dashboard)
Encryption	TLS recommended

Configuration Examples:

Python (smtplib):

import smtplib
from email.mime.text import MIMEText

# Create message
msg = MIMEText('Order confirmed', 'plain')
msg['Subject'] = 'Order Confirmation'
msg['From'] = 'sender@yourdomain.com'
msg['To'] = 'customer@example.com'

# Connect and send
with smtplib.SMTP('smtp.mailgun.org', 587) as server:
    server.starttls()
    server.login('postmaster@yourdomain.com', 'your-smtp-password')
    server.send_message(msg)
    print("Email sent successfully")

Node.js (nodemailer):

const nodemailer = require('nodemailer');

const transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
    host: 'smtp.mailgun.org',
    port: 587,
    secure: false, // TLS
    auth: {
        user: 'postmaster@yourdomain.com',
        pass: 'your-smtp-password'
    }
});

const mailOptions = {
    from: 'sender@yourdomain.com',
    to: 'customer@example.com',
    subject: 'Order Confirmation',
    text: 'Order confirmed',
    html: '<p>Order confirmed</p>'
};

transporter.sendMail(mailOptions, (error, info) => {
    if (error) {
        console.log('Error:', error);
    } else {
        console.log('Email sent:', info.response);
    }
});

6.3 Webhook Verification Implementation

HMAC Signature Verification (HMAC-SHA256):

Step 1: Extract Parameters

timestamp = 1530000000
token = "abcdef1234567890abcdef"
signature = "hexdigest_value"
webhook_key = "YOUR_MAILGUN_WEBHOOK_KEY"

Step 2: Concatenate

message = timestamp + token
// Result: "1530000000abcdef1234567890abcdef"

Step 3: Compute HMAC

computed_signature = HMAC-SHA256(webhook_key, message)

Step 4: Compare

if (computed_signature == signature) {
    // Webhook is authentic
} else {
    // Reject webhook
}

Implementation in Multiple Languages:

Python:

import hmac
import hashlib
from hmac import compare_digest

def verify_webhook(token, timestamp, signature, api_key):
    message = ''.join([timestamp, token])
    expected = hmac.new(
        key=api_key.encode(),
        msg=message.encode(),
        digestmod=hashlib.sha256
    ).hexdigest()
    return compare_digest(signature, expected)

Node.js:

const crypto = require('crypto');

function verifyWebhook(token, timestamp, signature, apiKey) {
    const message = timestamp + token;
    const expected = crypto
        .createHmac('sha256', apiKey)
        .update(message)
        .digest('hex');
    return signature === expected;
}

PHP:

function verify_webhook($token, $timestamp, $signature, $api_key) {
    $message = $timestamp . $token;
    $expected = hash_hmac('sha256', $message, $api_key);
    return hash_equals($signature, $expected);
}

6.4 Domain Verification DNS Records

Required DNS Configuration:

1. SPF Record (Sender Policy Framework)

Type: TXT
Name: yourdomain.com
Value: v=spf1 include:mailgun.org ~all

Explanation:

v=spf1: Version identifier
include:mailgun.org: Authorize Mailgun servers
~all: Soft fail for other senders

2. DKIM Record (DomainKeys Identified Mail)

Type: TXT
Name: default._domainkey.yourdomain.com (or mailgun._domainkey.yourdomain.com)
Value: (provided by Mailgun dashboard)
// Example:
v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQDT1...

Explanation:

Enables cryptographic signing of outgoing emails
Proves authenticity to receiving mail servers
Mailgun provides the public key

3. MX Record (Optional but Recommended for Inbound)

Type: MX
Name: yourdomain.com
Value: mxa.mailgun.org (or mxb.mailgun.org, etc.)
Priority: 10 (lower numbers higher priority)

4. CNAME Record (Alternative Verification)

Type: CNAME
Name: email.yourdomain.com
Value: mailgun.org

Verification Steps:

Add DNS records in your domain registrar/DNS provider
Wait 24-48 hours for propagation
Click "Verify DNS Settings" in Mailgun dashboard
Mailgun validates records automatically or via manual verification

8.2 Security Best Practices

API Key Management:

Secure Storage:
- Never commit API keys to source code
- Use environment variables or secrets manager
- Rotate keys every 90 days
- Maintain separate keys per environment
Least Privilege:
- Create separate API keys for different services
- Use read-only keys where possible
- Restrict webhook signing keys to webhook handlers
- Document which service uses which key
Access Logging:
- Enable API access logs in Mailgun dashboard
- Monitor for unusual activity
- Alert on failed authentication attempts
- Review logs monthly

Webhook Security:

Signature Verification:

# CRITICAL: Always verify signature
def handle_webhook(request):
    if not verify_mailgun_webhook(request):
        return 'Unauthorized', 401  # Reject unsigned webhooks
    # Process webhook

Timestamp Validation:

# Prevent replay attacks
def verify_timestamp(timestamp, max_age_seconds=300):
    current_time = int(time.time())
    age = current_time - int(timestamp)
    return 0 <= age <= max_age_seconds

Token Caching:

# Prevent token reuse
processed_tokens = set()

def handle_webhook(request):
    token = request.form.get('token')
    if token in processed_tokens:
        return 'Already processed', 409
    processed_tokens.add(token)
    # Process webhook

TLS/SSL Configuration:

API Connections:
- Always use HTTPS (TLS 1.2+)
- Verify certificate validity
- Use certificate pinning for sensitive environments
Webhook Delivery:
- Configure HTTPS endpoint URLs only
- Mailgun enforces HTTPS for webhook delivery
- Use self-signed certificates in development only

Data Protection:

Encryption in Transit:
- TLS 1.2+ for all API connections
- TLS 1.2+ for all webhook deliveries
- PFS (Perfect Forward Secrecy) ciphers
Encryption at Rest:
- EU region: Data encrypted in German data center
- Message content encrypted in Mailgun storage
- Log data encrypted in ElasticSearch cluster

8.3 Comprehensive Testing Strategy

8 Essential Test Scenarios:

APPENDIX C: Troubleshooting Guide

Common Issues and Resolutions

Issue 1: "Invalid from parameter"

Symptoms: 400 Bad Request response

Causes:

Domain not added to Mailgun account
Domain not verified (DNS not configured)
Email address format invalid
Domain verification pending

Resolution:

1. Check dashboard for domain list
2. Verify domain ownership (check DNS records)
3. Wait for verification to complete (up to 48 hours)
4. Use verified domain in 'from' parameter

Issue 2: Messages not appearing in recipient mailbox

Symptoms: API returns 200 OK, but recipient doesn't receive email

Causes:

SPF/DKIM configuration incorrect
Message flagged as spam
Recipient email invalid
Bounce suppression active

Resolution:

1. Check delivery status: GET /v3/domain/events?message-id=MESSAGE_ID
2. Verify SPF/DKIM records: nslookup -type=TXT default._domainkey.yourdomain.com
3. Check bounce list: GET /v3/domain/bounces
4. Review Mailgun logs for bounce reasons
5. Remove from bounce list if needed: DELETE /v3/domain/bounces/email@example.com

Issue 3: Webhook signature verification fails

Symptoms: 403 Unauthorized on valid webhooks

Causes:

Using wrong webhook signing key
Using API key instead of signing key
Timestamp/token encoding issue
Race condition with key rotation

Resolution:

# Verify you're using webhook signing key, not API key
webhook_key = os.getenv('MAILGUN_WEBHOOK_KEY')  # NOT API_KEY
api_key = os.getenv('MAILGUN_API_KEY')

# Check signature calculation
timestamp = request.form.get('timestamp')
token = request.form.get('token')
signature = request.form.get('signature')

message = timestamp + token
expected = hmac.new(webhook_key.encode(), message.encode(), hashlib.sha256).hexdigest()

print(f"Expected: {expected}")
print(f"Received: {signature}")
print(f"Match: {expected == signature}")

Issue 4: Rate limit 429 responses

Symptoms: 429 Too Many Requests errors

Causes:

Exceeding account rate limit
Burst limit exceeded
Legitimate spike in traffic

Resolution:

# Implement exponential backoff
import time
import random

def send_with_backoff(message_data, max_retries=5):
    for attempt in range(max_retries):
        try:
