Address in mailbox given [] does not comply with RFC 2822, 3.6.2. when email is in a variable

email, laravel, laravel-4, php, swiftmailer

Solution

Your email variable is empty because of the scope, you should set a use clause such as:

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

Problem

I have a correct email address. I have echoed it, but when I send it, I get the following error: ``` Address in mailbox given [] does not comply with RFC 2822, 3.6.2. ``` Why? I use laravel (swift mailer) to send email: ``` $email = email@address.com ``` and then when I send it, the error is thrown. But if I directly use the string, it sends it. Here is the block: ``` Mail::send('emails.activation', $data, function($message){ $message->to($email)->subject($subject); }); ->with('title', "Registered Successfully."); ```
