Mailgun Laravel send email error Client error message


After set up mailgun on Laravel 5.1 i do get the error message:

Client error response [url] https://api.mailgun.net/v3//messages.mime [status code] 404 [reason phrase] NOT FOUND

I create an account on mailgun.

Edit config/services.php

Guzzle is installed

Edit .env (mail_driver, mail_from, mail_nam, mailgun_domain and mailgun_secret)

I check DNS records into mailgun dashboard and it is verified.

Is there any fix to start sending emails using laravel and mailgun ?


Solution

  • The main reason behind this is wrong configuration of environment variables. Update your config/mail.php file. Replace the variable values from env('varname', 'value') to 'value'.

    Here's an example (Worked For Me!):

    <?php
    
    return [
    
        /*
        |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
        | Mail Driver
        |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
        |
            | Laravel supports both SMTP and PHP's "mail" function as drivers for the
        | sending of e-mail. You may specify which one you're using throughout
        | your application here. By default, Laravel is setup for SMTP mail.
        |
        | Supported: "smtp", "mail", "sendmail", "mailgun", "mandrill", "ses", "log"
        |
        */
    
        'driver' => 'mailgun',
    
        /*

        | Here you may provide the host address of the SMTP server used by your

        | the Mailgun mail service which will provide reliable deliveries.
        |
        */
    
        'host' => 'smtp.mailgun.org',
    
        /*
