sending verification email using Laravel 5.7 Email Verification from a server within a proxy network

Question

My problem is different from this , because i am getting this error due to proxy network. I am using laravel 5.7 built-in email verification. i have configure it in the following way.

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=mygmail@gmail.com
MAIL_PASSWORD=mypass
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls 

This configuration works fine when i am connected to a non proxy network. when i change to a proxy network i am getting the following error

"Connection could not be established with host smtp.gmail.com [php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: No such host is known. #0]"

How can i fix this issue for a proxy network? i know my configuration is okay for non proxy network.

You'll have to add something like this to your config/mail.php

   return [
      'components' => [
        'mailer' => [
          'transport' => [
            'streamOptions' => [ 
              'ssl' => [ 
                'allow_self_signed' => true,
                'verify_peer' => false,
                'verify_peer_name' => false,
              ]
            ]
          ]
        ]
      ]

];
