5. By default Mailgun do not allow to send emails from sandbox domain name, to use this address, you must add a recipient in your Mailgun account. For it, go to Account Settings > Authorized Recipients and add the email address where you want to send the email. As you add, an Mailgun send email to given address, open that email and click the link given in email. Now you can write this email address in 'to' parameter of sendMessage method used in above code.
