Send email from Laravel over SMTP

Laravel reads SMTP settings from your `.env`. Point the mailer at Unitpost and send from a verified domain.

1. 1

   Set your mail environment variables

   Add the following to your .env file.

   Shell

   MAIL_MAILER=smtp
   MAIL_HOST=smtp.unitpost.com
   MAIL_PORT=587
   MAIL_USERNAME=unitpost
   MAIL_PASSWORD=${UNITPOST_API_KEY}
   MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
   MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=you@yourdomain.com
   MAIL_FROM_NAME="${APP_NAME}"

   MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS must be on a domain you've verified in Unitpost.

2. 2

   Clear the config cache

   If you cache config in production, refresh it so the new values load.

   Shell

   php artisan config:clear

3. 3

   Send and verify

   Send a mailable (e.g. Mail::to($user)->send(new WelcomeMail())) and confirm it in your Unitpost Activity view.
