Laravel SMTP

Send Laravel transactional email with SMTP

Laravel already has a clean mail layer, so SMTP is often the fastest path. Point Laravel Mail at zaSend, use a sender at your verified domain, and send password resets, notifications, receipts, and product email with DKIM signing and logs.

Laravel .env example

MAIL_MAILER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.zasend.com
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=noreply@yourdomain.com
MAIL_PASSWORD=dsk_live_...
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=noreply@yourdomain.com
MAIL_FROM_NAME="${APP_NAME}"

Why use SMTP here?

Laravel already has first-class SMTP support.
Domain Sending Keys keep credentials scoped to one verified domain.
zaSend logs help debug accepted, failed, bounced, and suppressed messages.
You can switch to the REST API later if you need API-specific workflows.

Queue mail in production

For user-facing flows like registration and checkout, queue Laravel mail jobs instead of sending directly in the request. The user gets a faster response, and failures can be retried without losing the event.
