I'm in the middle of deploying my project, and the last part is getting the "forgotten password" system to work. Currently, without any mail configuration, I get the error
Expected response code 250 but got code "530", with message "530 5.7.1 Authentication required "
I have bought my domain through namecheap.com and hosting on digitalocean.com.
My .env mail config currently looks like this
MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.mailtrap.io
MAIL_PORT=2525
MAIL_USERNAME=null
MAIL_PASSWORD=null
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=null
, which obviously isn't supposed to work.
Where do I go to get a mail username and password? Thanks.
I ended up going with mailgun's free option for now. It seems to work fine so far!
