A simple laravel package that validates your smtp credentials without sending a test mail

Laravel Smtp Validator

This laravel package can be used to validate your smtp credentials without sending a test mail, _(*1)

Package Installation

Require this package in your composer.json file and update composer., _(*2)

composer require samolabams/smtp-validator

• If you are on laravel 5.5 and above, thats all you need to do.
• If your laravel version is < 5.5, you'll need to register a service provider and optionally add a facade. Open up config/app and the following to your providers array:

Samolabams\SmtpValidator\SmtpValidatorServceProvider::class,

Optionally, you can also use a facade for shorter code:, _(*3)

'SmtpValidator' => Samolabams\SmtpValidator\SmtpValidatorFacade::class,

Usage

Create a new validation with the "newValidation" method with your hostname and port(default port is 25) as parameters, optionally add a username and password, encryption type and "validate" VOILA!!!., _(*4)

Use the App container, _(*5)

$smtpValidator = App::make('smtp-validator');
$smtpValidator->newValidation($host, $port);
$smtpValidator->validate();

Or use the facade, _(*6)

SmtpValidator::newValidation($host, $port)->validate();

If you have a smtp username/password and encryption, you can chain them to the validation calls

SmtpValidator::newValidation($host, $port)->setUsername($username)->setPassword($password)->setEncryption($encryption)->validate();

Response, _(*7)

The validate method returns a response object, with a success property (true/false value) and an optional message property which tells you the reason why your smtp credentials is invalid.

$response = SmtpValidator::newValidation($host, $port)->validate();
if ($response->success === true) {
  // GOOD TO GO!!!
} else {
  // SOMETHING WENT WRONG!!!
  $message = $response->message;
}
