Custom Laravel email transport that forwards mail via an HTTP relay API.

---

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 8.2+
- Laravel 11, 12, or 13

---

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

**1. Install the package:**

```
composer require elitetools/laravel-email-relay
```

That's it! The package automatically registers the `emailrelay` mailer and its service configuration via Laravel's package discovery.

---

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

Just set these variables in your `.env` file:

```
MAIL_MAILER=emailrelay
EMAIL_RELAY_URL=https://your-relay-api.example.com
EMAIL_RELAY_TOKEN=your-secret-token
```

---

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Use it like any standard Laravel Mailable. Optionally set the `X-Email-Type` header to categorize the email on the relay side:

```
Mail::to($user)->send(
    (new WelcomeMail($user))->withSymfonyMessage(function ($message) {
        $message->getHeaders()->addTextHeader('X-Email-Type', 'Welcome');
    })
);
```

---

How it works
------------

[](#how-it-works)

1. Intercepts outgoing mail via a custom Symfony `AbstractTransport`
2. Builds a JSON payload with `type`, `sendToAddress`, `senderName`, `senderAddress`, `subject`, and `body`
3. POSTs to `{EMAIL_RELAY_URL}/send` with a Bearer token
4. Throws an exception if the relay returns a non-2xx response
