Problem when sending a local mail with Maildev in Laravel 7

I'm stuck with a problem sending a local mail on the Maildev server from Laravel and I can't find the answer. Here is the code of my .env file :

MAIL_MAILER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=localhost
MAIL_PORT=1025
MAIL_USERNAME=null
MAIL_PASSWORD=null
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=null
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=null
MAIL_FROM_NAME="${APP_NAME}"

and here's the error:

Swift_TransportException
Cannot send a message without a sender address
Solution

  • The error message says exactly what's wrong. You can't send emails without providing sender address. You need to provide account details like username, password and email address of that user.
