Check mail is sent successfully or not on Laravel 5

Question

I have a function that can send mail on Laravel5 using this

/**
 *  Send Mail from Parts Specification Form
 */
 public function sendMail(Request $request) {

You can use the Mail::failures() function for that. It will have a collection of failed mails if it exists so you can use the code below to check for it.

public function sendMail(Request $request) {
    $data = $request->all();

    $messageBody = $this->getMessageBody($data);

    Mail::raw($messageBody, function ($message) use ($messageBody) {
        $message->from('yourEmail@domain.com', 'Learning Laravel');
        $message->to('goper.zosa@gmail.com');
        $message->subject($messageBody); 
    });

    // check for failed ones
    if (Mail::failures()) {
        // return failed mails
        return new Error(Mail::failures()); 
    }

    // else do redirect back to normal
    return redirect()->back();
}
