"From Email" doesn't work in laravel 5.3 - php

Question

This is my code:
Mail::send('view',$dataView, function($message) use ($user)
{
$message->from('my_email#gmail.com', 'Myname');
$message->subject('This is title');
$message->to(sender_email#gmail.com, $user->user_username);
});
It works! But When I check sender_email#gmail.com then I see "from email" which I config in .env ( MAIL_USERNAME ), it isn't "from email" in code (my_email#gmail.com), How to I can change it to my_email#gmail.com? Thanks and sorry about my english.

Answer 1

In config/mail.php, around line 58, try changing:
'from' => [
'address' => 'hello#example.com',
'name' => 'Example',
],
to:
'from' => [
'address' => env('MAIL_USERNAME'),
'name' => env('MAIL_USERNAME')
],

Answer 2

You are trying to send emails via dynamic senders which is not allowed by Gmail for preventing spamming mails, so automatically Gmail will change your sender address to your default address.

Answer 3

I guess you're misunderstanding the MAIL_USERNAME which is in your .env file.
So basically, Laravel provides simple solution to send emails via dynamic senders. Lets say you've signed up for MailGun or SendGrid to send mails and MAIL_USERNAME is the username for your mail provider not your sender mail address. (Not Gmail, as Gmail doesn't support dynamic senders. Its good if you're testing your mails.).
so, you're .env will look like this.
MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.sendgrid.net
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=sendgridUsername
MAIL_PASSWORD=sendgridPassword
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
Now, you're eligible to send mails using sendgrid. Now Lets say your domain is example.com so you can use admin#example.com support#example or any email address with your domain to send emails.
To Receive messages either you use webmail or Gmail.
Hope this helps.
