Mail settings

Setting Up SMTP

Speedtest Tracker uses SMTP mail protocol to send email messages, you can use any service that allows you to send emails via SMTP.

To configure the mail server settings you'll need to update the following variables in your .env file or add them to the environment variables passed into the container. When choosing mail scheme both ssl and tls protocols are supported and you'll want to check with your mail provider for which to use and which port.

Make sure these are not set in both your .env file or your docker-compose.yml file as that can cause issues.

MAIL_MAILER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=
MAIL_PORT=
MAIL_USERNAME=
MAIL_PASSWORD=
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=
MAIL_FROM_NAME=

MAIL_SCHEME is optional, only use it if you need to define smtp or smtps otherwise Laravel will determine the scheme based on the port provided.
