multiple mail configurations

Question

I configured laravel\'s mail service with mandrill driver. No problems here!

Now, at certain point of my application, I need to send a mail via gmail.

I did

Answer 1

Using only setSwiftMailer as explained by Bogdan didn't work for me, because then the from and adress options where still taken from config/mail.php. Also it wasn't working with queues.

I created a package called multiMail to solve this.

One can setup the mail adress and host/provider/username/passwort etc in /config/multimail.php and then one can send the mails using

\MultiMail::from('office@example.com')->send(new MailableDummy()));
\MultiMail::from('contact@otherdomain.de')->send(new MailableDummy()));

or queue it

\MultiMail::from('office@example.com')->queue(new MailableDummy()));
