Answer 1

I had very similar problem today and solution was as it is..

$email = Array("Zaffar Saffee" => "myemail@gmail.com");
        $schedule->command('cmd:mycmd')
                 ->everyMinute()
                 ->sendOutputTo("/home/forge/dev.mysite.com/storage/logs/cron.log")
                 ->emailWrittenOutputTo($email);

It laravel 5.2 though...

my basic problem was , I was passing string instead of array so, error was

->emailWrittenOutputTo('mymail@gmail.com'); // string, we need an array

Answer 2

Its because the email address which is being sent is blank. see those empty brackets? that means the email address is not being put in the $address of the swiftmailer function.

Answer 3

Try this.

Mail::send('emails.activation', $data, function($message) use($email,$subject){
            $message->to($email)->subject($subject);
        });
                ->with('title', "Registered Successfully.");

Answer 4

Your problem may be that the .env file is not loading properly and using the MAIL_USERNAME.

To check if your .env file is loading the email address properly add this line to your controller and refresh the page.

dd(env('MAIL_USERNAME') 

If it shows up null try running the following command from command line and trying again.

php artisan cache:clear

Answer 5

(I'm using SwiftMailer in PHP)

I was getting an error like that when I was accidentally sending a string for $email

$email = "someone@somewhere.com <Some One>";

When what I meant to be sending was

$email = Array("someone@somewhere.com"=>"Some One");

I was accidentally running it through a stringify function that I was using for logging, so once I started sending the array again, the error went away.

Answer 6

The only solution worked for me is changing the following code

 Mail::send('emails.activation', $data, function($message){
     $message->from(env('MAIL_USERNAME'),'Test'); 
     $message->to($email)->subject($subject);
});
