SwiftMailer sending in tinker and nowhere else, please help.

Hi Folks,

Long time lurker, first time poster. I have searched high and low for a solution to the following problem: The following code works when used in tinker.

 $data = ['name' => 'a','company' => 'b','email' => 'c','phone' => 'd','msg' => 'e','country' => 'f','title' => 'g'];
 Mail::send('emails.contact', $data, function($message) use ($data) {
    $message->to('[email protected]')->subject('Prospect Notification');
 });

But... when I wrap it in a Route closure

get('/mailtest',  function() {
   Mail::raw("Testing", function ($message) {
      $message->to('[email protected]')->subject('LaravelGMail App!');
   });
   $data = ['name' => 'a','company' => 'b','email' => 'c','phone' => 'd','msg' => 'e','country' => 'f','title' => 'g'];
   
   Mail::send('emails.contact', $data, function($message) use ($data) {
       $message->to('[email protected]')->subject('Prospect Notification');
   });
   return "sent";
});

I get the following error:

[2016-10-15 05:35:21] production.ERROR: Swift_TransportException: Expected response code 250 but got code "", with message "" in /var/www/demosite/vendor/swiftmailer/swiftmailer/lib/classes/Swift/Transport/AbstractSmtpTransport.php:383

Does any one have any help on this one? It's driving me nuts. I have restarted the server. I cleared the caches and I have dumped autoload

So I finally figured this one out. Turns out to be how php interprets the $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']; superglobal variable.

Within your sites-enabled configurations the "server_name" variable contains a wild card like the

    server_name     *.example.com example.com

This will cause $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']; to be *.example.com. Instead putting example.com first will solve this problem so it looks like:

    server_name     example.com *.example.com

All will be right with the world again! :-)
