### Config

[](#config)

You can copy config file

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=email-smtp-validation-config
```

If you want to disable SMTP check on some environments, you can pass them in config on key `disable_on_env`. By default, `local` env is disabled to allow you to use fake emails during development.

### Rule

```
use AlexPavliukov\EmailSmtpValidation\Rules\EmailSmtpVerified;
...

class ValidateEmailRequest extends FormRequest
{
    public function rules()
    {
        return [
            'email' => [
                'required',
                'email',
                app(EmailSmtpVerified::class),
            ],
        ];
    }
}
