## Description

The Superfast Mailgun add-on for the [Newsletter](https://wordpress.org/plugins/newsletter/)
plugin allows you to take full advantage of the Mailgun “Batch Send” API. This makes
it possible to send a newsletter to up to 1,000 addresses in a single API call.

For 10,000 subscribers, that’s 10 API calls instead of 10,000 calls. Quite a difference.
It will take a lot less time to send out your newsletter.

 * Sends newsletters to up to 1,200 subscribers per hour.
 * Polls Mailgun for “bounces” and updates your mailing list accordingly.
 * Support by email or through the forum on wordpress.org

Note:
 Filters ‘newsletter_message_html’, ‘newsletter_message_text’, ‘newsletter_message_subject’
and ‘newsletter_message’ are called only once per email, and receive a null $user
parameter. This is because Mailgun takes care of replacing user-specific tags in
the email. Note that the Newsletter plugin has deprecated filters ‘newsletter_message_html’,‘
newsletter_message_text’ and ‘newsletter_message_subject’ in favour of ‘newsletter_message’.
When they are removed, this addon will stop using them as well.

### Pro version

For mailing lists with more than 1,000 subscribers, get the [Pro version](http://howfrankdidit.com/superfast-newsletters-with-mailgun)!

You can easily upgrade from within your WordPress dashboard.
