I've always treated it as an SMTP connection. I have about 8 different projects sending mail via postmark using smtp without any issue.
In fairness, I can't say I've bothered trying other methods in comparison.

Hello,
I am using Laravel 7 and want to send some of my emails using Postmark.
However I'm slightly confused as to what is the best way to do this.
The Laravel docs say to use the official Swiftmailer Transport for Postmark by Wildbit:
https://github.com/wildbit/swiftmailer-postmark
However the Postmark blog says to use the Laravel Postmark Adapter by CoconutCraig or SMTP:
https://postmarkapp.com/blog/how-to-send-transactional-emails-with-laravel-php-framework
My inclination is to go with the Laravel docs, but do all of these 3 options work equally well and are any of these 3 options more efficient?
Thanks,
Martin
