Send Laravel mail through SecureSMTP

Set up in under five minutes

Same flow for every integration: account → credentials → paste into Laravel → test send.

1. 1

   Create a free SecureSMTP account

   Sign up at securessmtp.com/signup. Free tier covers 100 emails/month — no card required.

2. 2

   Create an API key

   Dashboard → Settings → API keys → Create. Store it in your environment (e.g. SECURESMTP_API_KEY in .env). Never commit it.

3. 3

   Install or import the SDK

   No package needed. Update config/mail.php to use the smtp mailer with our host/port, set MAIL_USERNAME / MAIL_PASSWORD in .env.

4. 4

   Make your first send

   Copy the snippet below into a server-side endpoint or background job. Replace the to/subject/html with your own values.

5. 5

   Test, then ship

   Trigger your endpoint in dev. Check the dashboard activity feed to confirm the send. Ship to prod — same code, no config swap.

# .env
MAIL_MAILER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.securessmtp.com
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=your-username
MAIL_PASSWORD=your-password
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls

// app/Mail/ContactMail.php — standard Laravel Mailable
Mail::to('you@yourdomain.com')->send(new ContactMail($data));
