FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Mailgun show inbox placement rate?
No. Mailgun's logs and webhooks tell you about bounces (undeliverable), complaints (spam reports), and delivery events, but they cannot tell you whether delivered mail landed in the inbox or the spam folder. That distinction requires seed list testing at ISPs — which Mailgun does not provide. InboxEagle shows exactly where your mail lands across 20+ providers.
Can I use InboxEagle with Mailgun?
Yes. InboxEagle monitors your sending domain and IP reputation independently of Mailgun. You continue using Mailgun to send and parse emails while InboxEagle tracks inbox placement and reputation across all major ISPs, alerting you to placement drops in real time.
What does InboxEagle add that Mailgun webhooks don't show?
Mailgun webhooks tell you what happened at the SMTP level — bounced, accepted, complained. InboxEagle tells you what happens after acceptance: did Gmail filter it to promotions? Did Outlook put it in spam? Did it reach the inbox at Yahoo? Mailgun's event stream cannot answer these questions because the receiving ISPs don't report placement decisions to senders.
Is InboxEagle a replacement for Mailgun?
No. Mailgun is your email infrastructure — you need it to send and receive mail at scale. InboxEagle is a monitoring and intelligence layer that shows you where your Mailgun-sent emails actually land and alerts you to sender reputation issues Mailgun's event logs cannot detect.
How do I know if my Mailgun setup has deliverability issues?
Mailgun shows you bounces and complaints. But most spam placement happens silently — your mail is accepted by the ISP but filtered by its content filters. InboxEagle's seed list testing shows this hidden filtering before it affects your open rates and revenue.
