For Laravel version 7.x you can now state the mail driver to use while sending an email. All you need to configure all your connections & credentials properly in config/mail.php. Once configured, you can specify the name of the driver via mailer() function as below:

Mail::mailer('postmark')
    ->to($request->user())
    ->send(new OrderShipped($order));
