Laravel 5: Sending Email

php email smtp laravel-5

29,432

Solution 1

Well, I got it. Infact the email was not authenticated because that email required a mobile phone authentication after login. changing to other email address that required just login credentials, it worked.

.env
MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=587
[email protected]
MAIL_PASSWORD=yourpassword
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls

Solution 2

GMail SMTP requires encryption. Try changing setting as following.

 MAIL_PORT=465
 MAIL_ENCRYPTION=ssl

Solution 3

I made the following mistake: I did not actually include the

'encryption' => env('MAIL_ENCRYPTION'),

to the array return in mail.php. I did include my host, port, username and password in the mail.php but not the encryption method (the encryption method I only included in the .env file), so trying out these mentioned solutions did bring a change in the error messages outcome, created a bigger confusion, but none solved the problem. Hope this helps someone!

I am trying to send an email in laravel application. Here is my .env file:
```
MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=587
[email protected]
MAIL_PASSWORD=**********
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
```
And here is the Mail::send method:
```
Mail::send('email', ['name' => "EE"], function($m){
            $m->to('[email protected]', 'Malik')->subject('Subjet of the email');
        });
```
And here is the error:
```
Swift_TransportException in AbstractSmtpTransport.php line 383: Expected response code 250 but got code "530", with message "530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. s16sm7748968wib.16 - gsmtp"
```
Any help?

  It's just an authentication error. I would suggest following the instructions of the error message 530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. s16sm7748968wib.16 - gsmtp.

  Laravel uses Swift mailer which is also a Symfony component.

what is your driver settings 'driver' => env('MAIL_DRIVER', 'smtp') in mail config??

This is the driver settings: 'driver' => env('MAIL_DRIVER', 'smtp')

This is host: 'host' => env('MAIL_HOST', 'smtp.gmail.com') and this is port: 'port' => env('MAIL_PORT', 465) in mail config file

other settings like driver, port, host in config??

your .env file MAIL_HOST should be this: MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com. The env() function will attempt to load a variable from the .env or use the default: env('KEY', 'the default'). (this is for someone who comes here with the same issue)

Is this a suggestion or an answer?
