When I try to send a password reset email, I get the following error:
Swift_TransportException in AbstractSmtpTransport.php line 383:
Expected response code 250 but got code "530", with message "530 5.7.1 Authentication required"
I'm not sure what's wrong here. I've looked at Stack Overflow and Laracasts and found similar problems. I've tried two different email addresses and servers. But I'm getting the same error.
Here's my .env file:
MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=xx@gmail.com
MAIL_PASSWORD=[password]
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
Here is my mail.php file:
'driver' => env('MAIL_DRIVER'),
'host' => env('MAIL_HOST'),
'port' => env('MAIL_PORT'),
'from' => [
'address' => 'xx@gmail.com',
'name' => 'XX',
],
'encryption' => env('MAIL_ENCRYPTION'),
'username' => env('MAIL_USERNAME'),
'password' => env('MAIL_PASSWORD'),
'sendmail' => '/usr/sbin/sendmail -bs',
Any ideas what I've got wrong here?
