## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability is-email-hosted-by-mailgun-00ab161e
```

Example prompt: Can you check if stripe.com's email is hosted by Mailgun — look up their MX records and tell me whether they match Mailgun's mail-exchanger patterns?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, single-domain check specifically for Mailgun hosting detection using live MX record lookups via Cloudflare DoH. Prefer this over generic MX lookup tools when you need structured yes/no provider detection with matched pattern detail, and over bulk variants when checking a single domain at $0.01 per call.

## Known failure modes

- Domain has no MX records — returns no match with empty MX host list
- Cloudflare DoH lookup failure — DNS resolution error returned
- Invalid or malformed domain input — request rejected
- Domain uses a custom or obfuscated MX configuration that doesn't match known Mailgun patterns — false negative possible
- Rate limiting or payment failure — 402 payment required

## How this service works

Is the domain's email hosted by mailgun? Looks up the MX records (Cloudflare DoH) and matches them against mailgun's mail-exchanger patterns, returning yes/no, the MX hosts and which matched. Provider detection for deliverability, sales and migration work. $0.01 per lookup.

## Output

Returns a yes/no answer indicating whether the domain's email is hosted by Mailgun, along with the full list of MX hosts discovered and which specific MX hosts matched Mailgun's known mail-exchanger patterns.
