Each region runs its own request from a different part of the world. A service can be up for one continent and down for another, which is usually the first sign of a routing or CDN problem.
What Mailgun does
Mailgun is a transactional email service that applications call by API or SMTP to send password resets, receipts and notifications. Its status page separates the sending path from the deliverability tools, listing API, SMTP, Outbound Delivery, Inbound email processing, Events and Logs and Stats and Analytics apart from Email Validation, Inbox Placement and the Spam Trap Network.
What an outage looks like
Send calls fail or time out at the API or SMTP boundary, so the application knows immediately that the message did not leave. Harder to spot: accepted messages that sit undelivered when Outbound Delivery degrades, where the API returns success and recipients get nothing. Click and open tracking can fail on its own while delivery continues normally.
What to do about it
Read status.mailgun.com and separate acceptance from delivery: an API or SMTP incident means your sends failed and can be retried, while an Outbound Delivery incident means they were accepted and are queued. Do not re-send messages Mailgun already accepted until delivery recovers, or recipients get duplicates. Events and Logs is where you confirm which of the two happened.

How we measure this
- We request Mailgun's public endpoint every 6 hours from Fly.io regions across six continents — 8 of them answered the most recent check.
- A region counts as down only when it gets no usable HTTP response. A
403or429means the origin answered and refused us, which we report as blocked, never as an outage. - A single failing region is treated as probe noise. We only change the verdict when two consecutive cycles agree.
- Response times average only the regions that actually served the page, so a timeout never inflates the number.
- Where Mailgun publishes an official status feed we read it too. An all-clear from the vendor can soften an unconfirmed degradation; a vendor-declared outage only worsens our verdict when our own checks corroborate it.
