Laravel Mail does not send to mailtrap
Hi guys, i'm having trouble sending mail i'm using mailtrap. Page redirects without errors and do not send mail, sometimes it says "Process could not be started [The system cannot find the path specified. ]" i have tried using mail_driver = mail but that do not work.
.env
MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.mailtrap.io
MAIL_PORT=2525
MAIL_USERNAME=ffc415fa96e9b8
MAIL_PASSWORD=4c04fc5918df03
MAIL_ENCRYPTION= tls
Controller public function PostContact(Request $request) {
$data = array(
'email' => $request -> email,
'subject' => $request -> subject,
'bodyMessage' => $request -> message
);
Mail::send('emails.contact', $data, function($message) use ($data){
$message -> from($data['email']);
// $message -> to($data['[email protected]']);
$message ->subject($data['subject']);
});
Session::flash('success', 'Your Email was sent!');
return redirect() -> back();
}
Thanks!

@BILLRIESS - Hmm, no, how do i install it?
Level 2
is your .env config equal to the config shows in mailtrap?
Level 1
yeah

You'll want to install postfix if its not installed. There are plenty of guides out there but you can get started with sudo apt install postfix.
Level 2
Ok, your config is OK (.env and config/mail.php)
are you trying this from Windows or Linux (localhost)? or in a test server (i.e DO)?
localhost many times does not have sendmail (as said @billriess) in windows did not exists you must install other tools (i don't remember the name); in linux you can run the command wrote by @billriess

Try running your code in Homestead or Valet (if you're using a Mac) and see if you have the same issue. This should isolate the problem down to a missing system dependency or a code-related issue.

Check your log for the error message and also make sure u have internet connection
