send mail from other configuration if first config fails laravel - php

Question

I want to create a code such that if one configuration fails to send mail the other config will kick in to send the mail, I have created two configurations, One in the provider which is set on page load the other is a helper function which can be set as we need.
if I set the helper function before sending any mail the function kicks in but if I keep it in try-catch block the helper doesn't work
try {
Mail::to($administrator->email)->send(new ResetPassword($data));
} catch (\Exception $e) {
$mailsenderr = true;
}
if ($mailsenderr) {
$newConfig = new SecondaryMailer;
$newConfig->setmailer();
try {
Mail::to($administrator->email)->send(new ResetPassword($data));
} catch (\Exception $e) {
return [
"status" => 0,
"message" => 'Error sending mail.'
// , "error" => $e->getMessage()
];
}
}
return ["status" => 1, "message" => "Mail sent successflly"];

Figured out how to
Just create a provider and set the code like
$mail = DB::table('mail_variables')->where('mailer_type', 'primary')->where('status', 'active')->first();
try {
$transport = new \Swift_SmtpTransport($mail->host, $mail->port, $mail->encryption);
$transport->setUsername($mail->username);
$transport->setPassword($mail->password);
$mailer = new \Swift_Mailer($transport);
$mailer->getTransport()->start();
} catch (\Swift_TransportException $e) {
$mail = DB::table('mail_variables')->where('mailer_type', 'secondary')->where('status', 'active')->first();
}
$config = array(
'driver' => $mail->driver,
'host' => $mail->host,
'port' => $mail->port,
'from' => array(
'address' => $mail->from_address,
'name' => $mail->from_name
),
'encryption' => $mail->encryption,
'username' => $mail->username,
'password' => $mail->password,
'sendmail' => '/usr/sbin/sendmail -bs',
'pretend' => false,
);
Config::set('mail', $config);
