Expected response code 250 but got code "550", with message "550 5.7.1 Relaying denied "

Question

I am getting this error Expected response code 250 but got code "550", with message "550 5.7.1 Relaying denied " when I try using mailgun and laravel 7 to send emails. But I do not know what to do

Kindly paster your code, we have a look you might be missing something. Also, Laravel changed from MAIL_DRIVER to MAIL_MAILER — kamau wairegi, Jun 09 '21 at 20:08

Make sure you have MAIL_MAILER=mailgun instead of MAIL_DRIVER=mailgun

It changed in Laravel 7+.

Use something like this:

MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=no-reply@example.com
MAIL_FROM_NAME=example
MAIL_MAILER=mailgun
MAILGUN_DOMAIN=mailgun-domain.example
MAILGUN_SECRET=example-key-here
MAILGUN_ENDPOINT=api.mailgun.net
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls

Hey @Abeer Sul! I am getting the same error on my webpage. But I am using October CMS and a plugin called "Magic Forms". Could you help me with it? – Abishek H Feb 22 '21 at 08:18

Unfortunately @AbishekH I never used it before – Abeer Sul Feb 22 '21 at 11:19
@DarrenMurphy, you don't have to downvote it. There might be something else you need to change in your code. I faced many issues like everyone, this code fixed it – Abeer Sul May 19 '21 at 11:46
I had to exclude the `MAILGUN_ENDPOINT` I think it is only for EU – axme100 Dec 01 '21 at 00:09

Check your config/mail.php file, to see whether MAIL_DRIVER or MAIL_MAILER is an env value. Then set MAIL_DRIVER or MAIL_MAILER in the .env file.

By default, emails are sent via SMTP. If you have set, for instance, MAILGUN_DOMAIN and MAILGUN_SECRET, expecting to us the API, this will not be the case, if the MAIL_DRIVE/MAIL_MAILER is not set up mailgun.
