Answer 3

I've a working laravel swiftmailer using google server. Here my steps:

1. I visited the link https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps and turned on less secure apps.

2. I edited .env file as like below:

   MAIL_DRIVER=smtp

   MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com

   MAIL_PORT=587

   MAIL_USERNAME=username //i.e. username@gmail.com

   MAIL_PASSWORD=password //Gmail accounts password

   MAIL_ENCRYPTION=ssl

Edit username and password with your own.

3. In my controller, I wrote the following code:

   $rawData = request::all();

   Mail::queue('program.meeting.emailInvite', $rawData, function($message) use ($rawData)

   {

   $message->from('info@echosofts.com', 'Echosofts')->to(array_map('trim', explode(',', $rawData['all_email_id'])))->subject($rawData['mail_title']);

   });

Then email was working fine except the sender email ID was my google account (username@gmail.com) instead of info@echosofts.com.

4. To overcome the sender email changing problem, I visited my google account and did the following:

"Setting icon"-> Settings -> Accounts and Import->Send mail as->Add another email address your own.

The following settings depends on your configuration.

    Email address: info@echosofts.com
    SMTP server: mail.echosofts.com
    Username: info@echosofts.com
    password:**********
    Port:25

Please triple check your email password.

Note : Test your credentals first on a phone app or log-in into the mail site. If pass, you may update in your .env file

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.mail.yahoo.com
MAIL_PORT=465
MAIL_USERNAME=dev.bheng@yahoo.com
MAIL_PASSWORD=****

If you know for sure that your password is correct.

Check to make sure your Gmail or Yahoo Mail allow app log-in.

Example

Yahoo

Answer 5

This one worked for me, 'if you are using GMAIL'

1. Go to 'My Accounts'
2. Go to 'Sign-in & security'
3. Scroll down to 'Allow less secure apps'
4. Switch #3 to ON

After doing this and if you just recently set up your email configurations on laravel and still doesn't work, try running:

php artisan config:cache

Answer 6

looks like the smtp was blocked for hostinger free users.
