Email Sending and Testing for Laravel in One Account

By · Published by Everything Blog

In short

The platform combines live email delivery via a verified domain with two distinct sandbox capture mechanisms, including an SMTP sink drain and dedicated incoming test inboxes. Integration is designed for Laravel 10 or later using the framework's native SMTP mailer and standard environment variables. Teams can implement the functionality without making alterations to their existing application codebases. All account tiers include the capability, with the free tier providing three SMTP credentials and 100 captured test emails monthly.

Most Laravel apps send email: sign-up confirmations, password resets, receipts, weekly summaries. Developers change these emails all the time, but rarely get to see them the way a customer does. Locally, the mail goes to a log file, staging points at a separate testing service, and production uses a sending provider that nobody looks at until a customer says an email never arrived.

We built Email Testing so you can check those emails in the same Maileroo account you send them from. Your app's test mail lands in a private sandbox where you can read it, see how spam filters will score it, preview it in light and dark mode, and act on it the way a recipient would. Email Testing is included in every Maileroo plan at no extra cost.

When you're done, your Laravel app will send real mail through Maileroo in production, capture every email in development and staging, and run an automated check on its emails in continuous integration (CI).

The examples come from Ledgerly, a small invoicing app. It sends four emails to a customer…
