How to debug laravel mailgun
email, laravel, mailgun, php
Solution
The MAILGUN_DOMAIN variable in your .env file should be only the domain name (instead of the API url):
Instead of
MAILGUN_DOMAIN=https://api.mailgun.net/v3/sandbox...a.mailgun.org
Use
MAILGUN_DOMAIN=sandboxXXXX.mailgun.org
Problem
I'm trying to set up mailgun with laravel (5.4) and it's sounds so easy with the docs, but getting it to actually work has been a nightmare and I'm not even sure how to debug the issue. Here's my situation: I have `guzzle` installed. I can successfully send an email via `cURL` from my server. In my `config/services.php` file I have: ``` 'mailgun' => [ 'domain' => env('MAILGUN_DOMAIN'), 'secret' => env('MAILGUN_SECRET'), ] ``` which I have set in my `.env` file with: ``` MAILGUN_DOMAIN=https://api.mailgun.net/v3/sandbox...a.mailgun.org MAILGUN_SECRET=key-926d...746 ``` The driver defaults to mailgun in `config/mail.php` (I even have it set in my `.env` file anyways): ``` 'driver' => env('MAIL_DRIVER', 'mailgun') ``` I have verified my email as an Authorized Recipients in MailGun. When I log the env values on my server, they are what I am seeing in my `.env` file. I've cleared my config cache via `php artisan config:clear` every time I try a change. When I go to send mail in a `try/catch` I get no errors. When I check `Mail::failures();` I get nothing. ``` try { $mailSent = Mail::raw('test', function($message) { $message->to('<my authorized-email>', 'name'); $message->subject('testing'); }); } catch (\Exception $e) { dd($e->getMessage()); } $fail = Mail::failures(); if(!empty($fail)) throw new \Exception('Could not send message to '.$fail[0]); ``` When I set `APP_DEBUG=true` and `APP_LOG_LEVEL=debug` I still get nothing in my log. From my understanding, I only need to set the driver, domain and secret to use mailguns API (not via smtp) so what I have above is all that I have set. What can I do to figure out what's failing??
