How to Configure multiple emails in laravel

Question

How do I use multiple from email configurations in my laravel app?

• Scenario#1: I want to use sales@mywebsite.com email for all billing related emails
• Scenario#2: I want to use support@mywebsite.com email for all notifications and other scenarios.

Question: in .env file we can configure only one email smtp details. How can I use multiple emails accounts and use their credentials for different scenarios.

My .env smtp setting

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.mailtrap.io
MAIL_PORT=2525
MAIL_USERNAME=xxxxxxxxx
MAIL_PASSWORD=xxxxxxxxxxxxx
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=sales@mywebsite.com
MAIL_FROM_NAME="Sales"
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=TLS

Below sends email but picks up configuration from .env file.

\Mail::to($firmAdminEmail->admin_email)->send(new AdminLeadAccept($acceptLink));

If this does not help, then I think you should have your .env with each config like:

• MAIL_SALES_USERNAME, MAIL_SALES_PASSWORD
• MAIL_SUPPORT_USERNAME, MAIL_SUPPORT_PASSWORD

Then in the config you have this, so you can add new "senders" inside mailers like this:

'sales' => [
    'transport' => 'smtp',
    'host' => env('MAIL_HOST', 'smtp.mailgun.org'),
    'port' => env('MAIL_PORT', 587),
    'encryption' => env('MAIL_ENCRYPTION', 'tls'),
    'username' => env('MAIL_SALES_USERNAME'),
    'password' => env('MAIL_SALES_PASSWORD'),
    'timeout' => null,
    'auth_mode' => null,
],
'support' => [
    'transport' => 'smtp',
    'host' => env('MAIL_HOST', 'smtp.mailgun.org'),
    'port' => env('MAIL_PORT', 587),
    'encryption' => env('MAIL_ENCRYPTION', 'tls'),
    'username' => env('MAIL_SUPPORT_USERNAME'),
    'password' => env('MAIL_SUPPORT_PASSWORD'),
    'timeout' => null,
    'auth_mode' => null,
],

So, before you send the email, you just select/change who you want to use as the sender:

Mail::mailer('support')
    ->to($request->user())
    ->send(new SupportTicketGenerated($ticket));

// Or

Mail::mailer('sales')
    ->to($request->user())
    ->send(new OrderShipped($order));
