Hi Folks,
I have a problem sending E-Mail. I get an error message when I use the "lost password function":
my .env File (with Placeholders):
MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST="server1.weddingcompany.eu"
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME="[email protected]"
MAIL_PASSWORD="*******"
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
the mail.php File looks like this:
return [

| Mail Driver
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Laravel supports both SMTP and PHP's "mail" function as drivers for the

I get Error Message when I try to use the lost password function:
stream_socket_enable_crypto(): SSL operation failed with code 1. OpenSSL Error messages: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed
What can I do?
Best Regards, Stefan
Try adding following to your config/mail.php(just below your markdown section will be fine.)
'stream' => [
'ssl' => [
'allow_self_signed' => true,
'verify_peer' => false,
'verify_peer_name' => false,
],
],
Thank you very much for your answer. Works like a charm :-)
Where can I edit the texts in the E-Mail which Laravel sends?
Stefan
@bosstone - you can find out how to customer the email at https://laravel.com/docs/5.7/passwords#password-customization
Essentially you create your own notification using php artisan make:notification CustomResetPasswordNotification then add This to your user model
public function sendPasswordResetNotification($token)
{
$this->notify(new CustomResetPasswordNotification($token));
}
