Email with laravel SMTP of Godaddy account fails? - laravel

Question

I am trying to send an email in laravel with godaddy account but I always get an error
Swift_TransportException in AbstractSmtpTransport.php line 383:
Expected response code 250 but got code "501", with message "501 HELO requires valid address"
Below code I used for the sending the email in controller:
$title = 'Test email';
$content = 'Test email from shingora';
Mail::send('emails.send', ['title' => $title, 'content' => $content], function ($message) {
$message->from('robin.shingora#gmail.com', 'Shingora');
$message->subject('Test email');
$message->to('robin.shingora#gmail.com');
});
And in mail.php
return [
'driver' => 'smtp',
'host' => 'smtpout.asia.secureserver.net',
'port' => 25,
'from' => ['address' => 'example#gmail.com', 'name' => 'test'],
'encryption' => 'ssl',
'username' => 'example#gmail.com',
'password' => '********',
'sendmail' => 'D:\sendmail\sendmail -bs',
'pretend' => false,
];

Answer 1

Set all smtp setting in your .env file
i.e
MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=ssl://smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=465
MAIL_USERNAME=example#gmail.com
MAIL_PASSWORD=*******
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=null
OR
return [
'driver' => 'smtp',
'host' => 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com',
'port' => 465,
'from' => ['address' => 'example#gmail.com', 'name' => 'test'],
'encryption' => 'ssl',
'username' => 'example#gmail.com',
'password' => '********',
'sendmail' => 'D:\sendmail\sendmail -bs',
'pretend' => false,
];

Answer 2

Few weeks ago I had same issue and I solved the problem by realising that GoDaddy likes to have your from and reply-to e-mail should belong to your own domain.
And it may be a problem with your hostname, so I've browsed to another SO question and found this:
