Citco Mailer is developed by Creative Investments Technologies as an extension to Mailer package provided by Laravel framework, (*1)
About
Citco Mailer adds some unique features to original Mailer provided by Laravel framework. These features include:, (*2)
- Adding custom headers to outgoing mails for better tracking of bounced mails
- Log all outgoing mails by auto forwarding them to a special log email address
- More help on email tracking by generating a reply-path alias for each receiver, based on receiver's email address
Installation
Composer
From the Command Line:, (*3)
composer require citco/mailer:dev-master
In your composer.json:, (*4)
``` json
{
"require": {
"citco/mailer": "dev-master"
}
}, (*5)
After updating composer, add the MailerServiceProvider to the providers array in app/config/app.php
```php
'Citco\Mailer\MailerServiceProvider',
You also need to publish configurations for this package by executing this artisan command:, (*6)
php artisan config:publish citco/mailer
This makes configuration options available in app/config/packages/citco/mailer/config.php .
These configuration include:
site.id: Used to set X-Site-ID header parameter in sent mails.
noreply.address and noreply.name: Address and name used as sender to send emails from.
log.enabled: If set to true, a copy of all outgoing emails will also be sent to a special log.address.
log.address and log.name: Log email address and name, used to send all outgoing mails if log.enabled is set to true.
dev.address and dev.name: Address and name of development mail account. This is useful while developing your application. If the application is running on local or dev environment (detected by Laravel environment detection mechanism) then all outgoing mails will be sent to this special address regardless of what address is passed to Mailer as recipient.
return.path: Return path of sent mails. All bounce reports will be delivered to an alias of this address., (*7)
Basic Usage
Before using Citco Mailer you should edit src/config/config.php wich includes some configuration variables. After editing this file, when using Citco Mailer for outgoing email messages, it will add information needed for tracking to the message., (*8)
