I tried to send this by email. I tried a lot of ways and always I obteined the same thing: an error.

http://goto-21.net/campaign/htmlversion?mkt_hm=0&AdministratorID=47507&CampaignID=58&StatisticID=62&MemberID=733807&s=994508d6292a660150ccc60c3f0310d4&isDemo=0

I tried with this:

curl -s --user 'api:key-3ax6xnjp29jd6fds4gc373sgvjxteol0' \ Xhttps://api.mailgun.net/v2/samples.mailgun.org/messages \ -F from='Excited User ' \ -F to='[email protected]' \ -F cc='[email protected]' \ -F bcc='[email protected]' \ -F subject='Hello' \ -F text='Testing some Mailgun awesomness!' \ -F html=' CODE HERE ' \

And this:

curl -s --user 'api:key-3ax6xnjp29jd6fds4gc373sgvjxteol0' \ Xhttps://api.mailgun.net/v2/samples.mailgun.org/messages \ -F from='Excited User ' \ -F to='[email protected]' \ -F cc='[email protected]' \ -F bcc='[email protected]' \ -F subject='Hello' \ -F text='Testing some Mailgun awesomness!' \ --form-string html=' CODE HERE ' \

But it doesnt work...Always ''syntax error''

Anyone can help me?

Thank you!

Syntax error? Just that? From curl or remote server? Also, can you make you examples look less unreadable, please? - Anthony

From curl in terminal an example screenshot imagizer.imageshack.us/a/img538/3032/9RfagM.png I cant show you the example (it is too large) but... I simply paste the html where I wrote ''CODE HERE'' Is that wrong? Thank you. - Gabriel Lloret

Use the following cURL command to send HTML emails using the command line. Replace the uppercase parameter with your own and you're ready to send!

curl -s --user 'api:YOUR-API-KEY' https://api.mailgun.net/v2/YOURDOMAIN/messages -F from='[email protected]' -F [email protected] -F subject='Hello World with HTML' -F html='<html><head><title>Hello</title></head><body>Hello <strong>World</strong></body></html>' -F text='Hello world'

What this does is send an email from an address attached to your domain to a receiver sending html and plain text version as a fall back!

Happy mailgunning

Best,

the origin request is looks like:

curl -s --user 'api:key-3ax6xnjp29jd6fds4gc373sgvjxteol0' \
    https://api.mailgun.net/v3/samples.mailgun.org/messages \
    -F from='Excited User <[email protected]>' \
    -F to='[email protected]' \
    -F subject='Hello' \
    -F text='Testing some Mailgun awesomeness!'

but you have a big X before https. 

curl -s --user 'api:key-3ax6xnjp29jd6fds4gc373sgvjxteol0' \ 
-------> X <----- https://api.mailgun.net/v2/samples.mailgun.org/messages \ -F from='Excited User ' \ -F to='[email protected]' \ -F cc='[email protected]' \ -F bcc='[email protected]' \ -F subject='Hello' \ -F text='Testing some Mailgun awesomness!' \ --form-string html=' CODE HERE ' \

maybe this cause an error
