How could i confige postfix as an SMTP server that i can log into?

I have a laravel app that needs to connect to an external SMTP server and log in to send a email. How could i configure my local postfix to be said server and have the app log into it? I already have postfix completely set up with proper dns and domain names (MX, etc) and it works flawlessly for sending emails through the command line.

Solution

You can configure Laravel to use your local SMTP server.

You can try that in your .env configuration:

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=localhost
MAIL_PORT=25
MAIL_USERNAME=null
MAIL_PASSWORD=null
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=null
