Laravel Mail Logger

Introduction

Mail logger has one purpose, save mail before they are sent from your app. This enables you to have backup of mail and a overview if something goes wrong.

This package listens to the MessageSending event fired from Mailer. The listener will dispatch a job, then save the needed form information, event, route and recipient to the database.

This package also supports auto deleting. You can define how long the the app should keep the logs by defining days in the config file.

To make it easier to find mails, you can define all "to" fields your app uses in forms. This will then find the user e-mail in the request, and save it as the "sender" field.

'toEmailAddresses' => [
    'email',
    'e-mail',
    'to',
]
