## Send emails from sandbox

If you use sandbox (if you haven't set up any domain) and want to send emails, you need to verify the recipients' email addresses in your Mailgun account's settings first. For more information, please read the [Mailgun documentation](https://help.mailgun.com/hc/en-us/articles/217531258).

## Sender email address

If you send emails from a verified domain, the email address of the sender must include this domain. If you use, for example, a domain @example.com, you can set up example\@example.com (but not example\@abc.com) as the sender email address.
