Laravel - No emails sending using mailgun

Question

Server: Digital Ocean

Ubuntu 16.04

Laravel 5.8

I cannot get email to send out of laravel using mailgun.com

In Digital Ocean I have all outgoing ports open on the firewall, I have the correct DNS settings in Digital ocean for TXT and MX records. I have the correct and verified DNS records on my domain registar and mailgun has a green checkmark on all

config/mail.php

return [
'driver' => 'mailgun',
'host' => 'smtp.mailgun.org',
'port' => 587,
'from' => [
    'address' => 'orders@domain.com',
    'name' => 'Company Name'
],
'encryption' => 'tls'),
'username' => 'orders@mg.domain.com',
'password' => 'xxxxd663hd02j727bb2eefd1ea38bbe0-58bc211a-670xxxx'
];

config/services.php

'mailgun' => [
    'domain' => 'https://api.mailgun.net/v3/mg.domain.com',
    'secret' => 'xxxxehbe8v25g3374e5as3ff32a45995-39bc661a-4716xxxx',
],

Controller

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Mail;

$data = [
        'email' => 'email@yahoo.com',
        'name' => 'Bob Smith'
    ];

    $body_data = [
        'id' => '1234'
    ];

    Mail::send('emails.shipped', $body_data, function($message) use ($data)
{
    $message->to($data['email'], $data['name'])->subject('Test Email');
});

When I change mail driver to log and then check log file it looks great. Everything looks perfect and I have used mailgun before on Laravel 5.5 with no problems. I have also tried the new laravel build method and same issue.

I get no errors, I checked logs on apache2, no logs are appearing in mailgun and of course no email comes through in inbox or spam.

My question is, am I missing anything? What other troubleshooting can I do? Seems like my app isn't connecting to mailgun correctly.

What does the Laravel log says? Also, in your config it seems that you have a typo at the end of the `'encryption'` line. — Kenny Horna, Jun 02 '19 at 19:57
@HCK ah I see the typo. That was just from copy/paste and post on here — Chad Priddle, Jun 03 '19 at 14:03
@HCK nothing in laravel.log I just switched driver to "log" and the email contents/headers come it as expected — Chad Priddle, Jun 03 '19 at 14:14

I think that in your config/services.php the mailgun.domain should be more like mg.domain.com (or sandboxXXXXXXX.mailgun.org if that's a dev environment), and not a url like the one you've set.

Try to put:

'endpoint' => env('MAILGUN_ENDPOINT', 'api.mailgun.net'),

in your mailgun array.

I'm using laravel 5.8 and it's working with all default configuration

.env

MAIL_DRIVER=mailgun
MAILGUN_DOMAIN=sandbox8a408833ad1540e7b3a5d0151f606531.mailgun.org
MAILGUN_SECRET=92df7e85eeeaccaeae3d3b3164600666-87cdd773-8c819599

web.php

Route::get('send_test_email', function(){
    Mail::raw('Sending emails with Mailgun and Laravel is easy!', function($message)
    {
        $message->to('your_test_email@gmail.com');
    });
});

services.php

'mailgun' => [
    'domain' => env('MAILGUN_DOMAIN'),
    'secret' => env('MAILGUN_SECRET'),
],

I struggled with this very same problem (laravel + mailgun) for a FULL DAY.

This is what ultimately solved my problem. Hope this helps!

MAIL_DRIVER=mailgun
MAILGUN_DOMAIN=mail.mydomain.com
MAILGUN_SECRET=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=kp@mydomain.com
MAIL_FROM_NAME='KP'

In routes/web.php:

Route::get('/tst', function(){
    Mail::raw('Sending emails with Mailgun and Laravel is easy!', function($message)
    {
        $message->to('kp@yahoo.com', 'K P')->subject('Hello there, how are you?');
    });
    echo "string";
});

Note: you will need to make sure that your MAILGUN_DOMAIN is set and the MX / DNS records exist on your server / domain. This can take up to 24 hrs to propagate (sadly, the most annoying part). But these are all the settings you would need.

You may try Installing SwiftMailer library in your server.

sudo apt install -y php-swiftmailer
