I used to use MailTrap with Laravel just fine.
However, since I updated to Laravel 5.6 and updated to Homestead, I can't seem to send any mail using MailTrap.
Here is a snippet of how my .env
file looks similar to:
MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=mailtrap.io
MAIL_PORT=2525
MAIL_USERNAME=XXX
MAIL_PASSWORD=XXX
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=null
MAIL_FROM_NAME="John Smith"
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=admin@foo.com
I have also cleared my config cache and re-cached it, as well as restarted the server.
Whenever, I try sending mail I get a Swift_TransportException
with the message: Connection could not be established with host mailtrap.io [Connection timed out #110]
.
Why is this happening and how can I fix this issue.
