Laravel 5 Mail Extras
=====================

[](#laravel-5-mail-extras)

*Add some extra functionality to your mail flow*

This package extends Laravel 5 Mail by adding:

- Attempt to retry sending mail X times

I'm sure I will be adding more in the future, but that's it for now!

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

[](#installation)

Require this package

```
composer require "foxxmd/laravel-mail-extras"
```

After adding the package, add the ServiceProvider to the providers array in `config/app.php`

```
\FoxxMD\LaravelMailExtras\LaravelMailExtrasServiceProvider::class,
```

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

[](#configuration)

Simply add this new key/value anywhere in `config/mail.php` to set the number of retry attempts:

```
'retries' => 3
```

It defaults to 0 if not present (normal behavior)

Default behavior for throwing exceptions is also configurable.

```
'exceptions' => [
    'mailFailure' => true, // will throw a MailFailureExeption if any exception is thrown during sending mail
    'deliveryFailure' => false // will throw a MailDeliveryException if any recipients fail to recieve mail during delivery
]
```

These parameters can be overridden using the send method

EX `Mail::send($view, $data, $callback, $throwOnMailFailure, $throwOnDeliveryFailure)`
