Answer 1

In Laravel 7 , your .env file should be like this

MAIL_MAILER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.mailtrap.io
MAIL_PORT=2525
MAIL_USERNAME="your username"
MAIL_PASSWORD="your password"
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
#MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=null
#MAIL_FROM_NAME="${APP_NAME}"

Make sure these two lines are commentout like this...

#MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=null
#MAIL_FROM_NAME="${APP_NAME}"

Final step: run these step of command in your terminal to successfully send notification -

php artisan config:cache
php artisan cache:clear 
php artisan config:clear
