I am trying to set up mailgun for my site which is hosted by JR.

I have my Mailgun API numbers ready, and following the mailgun setup instructions, am looking for the place to enter these API codes.

I expected to see the "server settings button" on the screen shown in the attached screenshot. But no such thing is there that I can see.

Where should I go from here?

Thanks.. found that. I just needed to check that Mailgun was actually set up. Maybe it is since it has my API number. But... when I looked for help via ACP and the mailgun module, here:

https://www.jamroom.net/search/results/jrDocs,jrTags,jrFAQ/1/4/search_string=jrCore

None of the items shown as documentation was obviously related to Mailgun. Instead, the preset search string led to jrCore items.

When I went to JR documentation directly, and made a new search, then I did find the documentation for Mailgun, so it seems that the module Help button has not been set up properly.

In any case, my present query is solved. Thanks.

Back up one screen from where you were in your screenshot, and click here instead- that's where you'll find the place to put in your mailgun API code:

Note also that when you fill in the mailgun API there, you don't just put the number.... you put:
" key-12345...etc " Be sure to start with: key-
...and no spaces.

I run my site's notifications through Mailgun built into JR, and I was told to leave my actual "Mailgun SMTP" Module DE-activated, which I do.
Instead, if you have your server mailgun api code in properly, and your other Email settings set up, it works fine with simply the JR Email/EmailCore Module.

If your 'test emails' are working, you can also go directly to your Mailgun.com account (not on JR site) and see your email/notification logs and bounces etc from there. From there you can occasionally check for problems, like if a member's address get put in the 'suppressed' list because it bounced a couple times or their mailbox rejected a notification...you can remove it from the suppressed list in mailgun once you know it should be working fine again. You can also see excactly how many notifications are going out from any of your domains every day, how many bounces, etc.

Thanks for the screenshot! Something like that would be good for the Mailgun documentation within JR.
