Setting up Laravel with SMTP2GO

This guide provides a simple script to send out E-Mail using your SMTP2GO Account. You may refer the Laravel Mail documentation for more options.

Step 1

Please change the following variables in this guide:

Sender Name: the sender’s name.

sender@example.com: the sender’s email address.

Recipient Name: the recipient’s name.

recipient@example.com: the recipient’s email address.

USERNAME: your SMTP username.

PASSWORD: your SMTP password.

Step 2

Make changes to the configuration file app/config/mail.php as below. For a secure TLS connection, you can also try using Port Number 25, 8025 or 587.

<?php
return array(
'driver' => 'smtp',
'host' => 'mail.smtp2go.com',
'port' => 2525,
'from' => array('address' => 'sender@example.com', 'name' => 'Sender Name'),
'encryption' => 'tls',
'username' => 'USERNAME',
'password' => 'PASSWORD',
'sendmail' => '/usr/sbin/sendmail -bs',
'pretend' => false,
);
?>

Step 3

Here the example at Mail::send() method, is a view file located at app/views/ folder. A sample content of the app/views/example.php view file looks like below:





Example Template



Hi,



This is a test message.



Step 4

Add the following code in your application to send the email:

<?php
$data = ['firstname' => 'Recipient Name'];
Mail::send('example', $data, function($message)
{
$message->to('recipient@example.com', 'Recipient Name')->subject('Your Subject');
});
?>
