Mailgun domain
From the docs:
- Go to Domains and create a new domain.
- Copy the domain and add it to your .env.server file.
Is it a specific domain that Mailgun provides to me? Or is it the one that I bought over (e.g. godaddy?)

Hi @santi_matero. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
The domain you need to use for Mailgun is a specific domain provided by Mailgun, not your own domain that you might have purchased elsewhere (like GoDaddy).
When you go to the Domains section in your Mailgun account and create a new domain, Mailgun will provide you with a domain specifically for sending emails through their service. This is the domain you should copy and add to your
.env.server file.
The process, as outlined in the Wasp documentation on using the Mailgun provider (https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/advanced/email#using-the-mailgun-provider), involves these steps:
1. Go to Mailgun and create an account.
2. Navigate to the Domains section in your Mailgun dashboard.
3. Create a new domain within Mailgun.
4. Copy the Mailgun-provided domain.
5. Add this domain to your .env.server file.
Your .env.server file should then include a line like this:
This Mailgun-specific domain is what you'll use to send emails through their service when integrated with your Wasp application.
