Sending email problem with gmail
I am trying to send email from localhost with gmail. I already Allow less secure apps: ON and I edited my mail.php file like as follows-
return [
'driver' => env('MAIL_DRIVER', 'smtp'),
'host' => env('MAIL_HOST', 'smtp.gmail.com'),
'port' => env('MAIL_PORT', 587),
'from' => ['address' => 'callforconference@gmail.com', 'name' => 'call for conference'],
'encryption' => env('MAIL_ENCRYPTION', 'tls'),
'username' => env('callforconference'),
'password' => env('*****************'),
'sendmail' => '/usr/sbin/sendmail -bs',
];
And .env, I edited like that-
MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=callforconference
MAIL_PASSWORD=**************
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
Now within controller, I wrote the following code-
$user = User::find(1)->toArray();
Mail::send('emails.joinMail', $user, function($message) use ($user){
$message->to($user['email']);
$message->subject('Welcome to cFc Network');
});
However, at the end of the day, I got following error-
Swift_TransportException in AbstractSmtpTransport.php line 383:
Expected response code 250 but got code "530", with message "530-5.5.1 Authentication Required. Learn more at
530 5.5.1 https://support.google.com/mail/answer/14257 22sm44931266pfh.48 - gsmtp
"
Any opinion to solve that?

Did you respond to the gmail email regarding use of your account?

What do you mean by respond?

From this website click on the link Google so helpfully provided you in the error message. Or check your email.

@tisuchi this happens to me to! Even though if I put the correct name rather than 'call for conference' and match the info exactly as my account info. I am thinking Gmail is blocking that as it is a free service, and some times it work, other times it does not. I am thinking since they have business plans, gmail wants you to subscribe to one.
P.S many of my domains are registered with Godaddy so I use their SMTP servers

This is mine .env:
MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=something@gmail.com
MAIL_PASSWORD=password
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
mail.php
return [
'driver' => env('MAIL_DRIVER', 'smtp'),
'host' => env('MAIL_HOST', 'smtp.gmail.com'),
'port' => env('MAIL_PORT', 587),
'from' => ['address' => 'something@gmail.com', 'name' => 'jesse'],
'encryption' => env('MAIL_ENCRYPTION', 'tls'),
//Maybe here is your problem
'username' => env('MAIL_USERNAME','something@gmail.com'),
'password' => env('MAIL_PASSWORD', 'password'),
'sendmail' => '/usr/sbin/sendmail -bs',
];
gmail : two step verification OFF and less-secure-apps ON
And try this:
php artisan config:cache
service nginx restart

Try this when sending the email
$user = User::find(1)->toArray();
Mail::send('emails.joinMail', ['user' => $user], function($message) use ($user){
$message->from('callforconference@gmail.com', 'callforconference')
->to($user['email'])
->subject('Welcome to cFc Network');
});
Basically I've just added the from in case it was required, and I thought that user variable had to be passed in as an array...
