Frequently asked questions
Is ValidPeak a Mailgun replacement?
No. Mailgun is an email sending infrastructure platform (SMTP relay, transactional email). ValidPeak is a deliverability intelligence layer — it validates your list before you send, warms up new domains, monitors DMARC reports, and alerts you the moment a sending IP or domain is blacklisted. The two tools solve different problems and work best together.
Can I use ValidPeak with Mailgun?
Yes. Many teams use ValidPeak to validate their email lists and warm up new sending domains, then route sends through Mailgun. ValidPeak's API integrates at the point of list collection or upload, before emails are sent through your ESP. ValidPeak also monitors the domain and IPs you use with Mailgun for blacklist status 24/7.
Does Mailgun validate email addresses?
Mailgun offers an email validation API as a separate paid product. ValidPeak's validation engine runs 25+ checks including real-time SMTP mailbox verification, disposable detection, role-based address flagging, and a risk score — delivering higher accuracy as its primary focus rather than a bundled add-on.
Does Mailgun offer domain warmup or blacklist monitoring?
No. Mailgun is focused on email delivery infrastructure. Domain warmup, DMARC monitoring, and blacklist surveillance are not part of Mailgun's platform. ValidPeak covers that layer of the stack, making the two tools complementary.
