I'm learning Laravel 5.1 mail for my project. So, I try to send simple email first from a new Laravel 5.1 application on my localhost.
this is my .env config file
MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=587
[email protected]
MAIL_PASSWORD=mygmailpassword
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
and this is my config/mail.php
'driver' => env('MAIL_DRIVER', 'smtp'),
'host' => env('MAIL_HOST', 'smtp.mailgun.org'),
'port' => env('MAIL_PORT', 587),
'from' => ['address' => '[email protected]', 'name' => 'Sender'],
'encryption' => env('MAIL_ENCRYPTION', 'tls'),
'username' => env('MAIL_USERNAME'),
'password' => env('MAIL_PASSWORD'),
'sendmail' => '/usr/sbin/sendmail -bs',
this is my function to send the email
Mail::send('emails.email', ['user'=>'Sender'], function($m){
$m->to('[email protected]','receiver')->subject('subject');
});
With this, when I run the application, it always return the error
Swift_TransportException in StreamBuffer.php line 265:
Connection could not be established with host smtp.gmail.com [Connection timed out #110]
What I've tried:
- Turn on 'less secure apps' on google account
- 2-step verification (generate an app password) and use it on (MAIL_PASSWORD on .env config)
But, none of this succeed. What am I doing wrong here?
PS: My OS is Linux Ubuntu 14.04
