Laravel SMTP Configuration

Configure Laravel to send emails through Lettr using SMTP.

​
Configuration

Update your .env file with the following SMTP settings: 
MAIL_MAILER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.lettr.dev
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=lettr
MAIL_PASSWORD=your-api-key
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=you@example.com
MAIL_FROM_NAME="${APP_NAME}"

​
Verify Configuration

Ensure your config/mail.php is using the correct mailer: 
'default' => env('MAIL_MAILER', 'smtp'),

'mailers' => [
    'smtp' => [
        'transport' => 'smtp',
        'host' => env('MAIL_HOST', 'smtp.mailgun.org'),
        'port' => env('MAIL_PORT', 587),
        'encryption' => env('MAIL_ENCRYPTION', 'tls'),
        'username' => env('MAIL_USERNAME'),
        'password' => env('MAIL_PASSWORD'),
        'timeout' => null,
        'local_domain' => env('MAIL_EHLO_DOMAIN'),
    ],
    // ...
],

​
Sending Emails

Use Laravel’s Mail facade as usual: 
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Mail;
use App\Mail\WelcomeEmail;

Mail::to('recipient@example.com')->send(new WelcomeEmail());

​
Testing Your Setup

Send a test email using Tinker: 
php artisan tinker

Mail::raw('Test email from Lettr', function ($message) {
    $message->to('test@example.com')
            ->subject('Test Email');
});
Clear your config cache after changing environment variables:
php artisan config:clear
