[](#laravel-mail-catcher)

A Laravel package to forcedly change sending email address when email testing.

Installation
============

[](#installation)

Execute composer command.

```
composer require sukohi/mail-catcher:2.*

```

Replace the service provider in app.php

`Illuminate\Mail\MailServiceProvider::class` to `Sukohi\MailCatcher\MailCatcherServiceProvider::class`

You can use \\Mail::send() as well as before.
