Mail 405
Universal To
Another solution provided by Laravel is to set a universal recipient of all e-mails sent by the
framework. This way, all the emails generated by your application will be sent to a specific address,
instead of the address actually specified when sending the message. This can be done via the to
option in your config/mail.php configuration file:
1 'to' => [
2 'address' => 'dev@domain.com',
3 'name' => 'Dev Example'
4 ],
Mailtrap
Finally, you may use a service like Mailtrap¹⁹⁰ and the smtp driver to send your e-mail messages to a
“dummy” mailbox where you may view them in a true e-mail client. This approach has the benefit
of allowing you to actually inspect the final e-mails in Mailtrap’s message viewer.
Events
Laravel fires an event just before sending mail messages. Remember, this event is fired when the mail
is sent, not when it is queued. You may register an event listener in your EventServiceProvider:
1 /**
2 * The event listener mappings for the application.
3 *
4 * @var array
5 */
6 protected $listen = [
7 'Illuminate\Mail\Events\MessageSending' => [
8 'App\Listeners\LogSentMessage',
9 ],
10 ];
