How can I change outgoing mail configuration in Laravel?

My email setting in env like this :

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=587
[email protected]
MAIL_PASSWORD=secret
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls

It works. But, I want to change email sender. So I don't use email sender gmail

My boss gives me a new email setting like this :

Mail Client Manual Settings

Secure SSL/TLS Settings (Recommended)

Username:[email protected]

Password:secret

Incoming Server:

palasik.in-hell.com

IMAP Port: 9xx

POP3 Port: 9xx

Outgoing Server:

palasik.in-hell.com

SMTP Port: 465

IMAP, POP3, and SMTP require authentication.

Non-SSL Settings (NOT Recommended)

Username:[email protected]

Password:secret

Incoming Server:

mail.secretshop.id

IMAP Port: 1xx

POP3 Port: 1xx

Outgoing Server:

mail.secretshop.id

SMTP Port: 587

IMAP, POP3, and SMTP require authentication.

I want to ask some questions

What is the difference between Secure SSL / TLS Settings and Non-SSL Settings?

what is the difference between incoming Server and Outgoing Server?

What new setting is more suitable?

I tried like this:

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=mail.secretshop.id
MAIL_PORT=587
[email protected]
MAIL_PASSWORD=secret
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls

Is it the best choice?

Its always recommended to use SSL as it is secured & reduces the changes of the sent mail being filtered by the recipient's host as spam.

Most email accounts have two servers:

  • one that lets you send emails to other people,
  • and another that lets you receive the emails that other people send you.

The server that lets you send mail is called an outgoing, or SMTP server. The server that lets you receive mail is called an incoming, POP, or just Mail server.

To change the sender config in Laravel use in .env file:

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=palasik.in-hell.com
MAIL_PORT=465
[email protected]
MAIL_PASSWORD=secret
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=ssl

You can setup the config on config/mail.php or on the .env of your app.
