I am unable to send emails using smtp on my script. I have hereby attached mail.php file. The question is, Do i need to edit info on this file in order for it to work? for instance maybe change host, port, etc?

Those settings aren't even for our service. You'd have to ask mailgun about their settings.

 

To email from our servers, set the mail driver to sendmail to use the native PHP mail() function. Please keep in mind that we have an email limit of 50 per day, and you'll get suspended if your mail is reported as spam or phishing.
