Hi, Set MAIL_DRIVER=smtp Results error in both cases Connection could not be established with host smtp.mandrillapp.com [Connection refused #111]

Set MAIL_DRIVER=mandrill It work in both cases But also had to set from email in /config/mail.php or else reset password wouldn't work

'from' => ['address' => env('MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS', null), 'name' => env('MAIL_FROM_NAME', null)],

I would like to know how to set from email specifically for the reset password. Any ideas?

Many thanks for the above answer, Shawn.

I haven't tried this, but overriding the ResetsPasswords trait by adding and updating the postEmail method to PasswordController should work (someone more experienced may know of a better way to do this):

Your PasswordController would look something like this (don't forget your imports):

   use ResetsPasswords;

    /**
     * Send a reset link to the given user.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function postEmail(Request $request)
    {
        $this->validate($request, ['email' => 'required|email']);

        $response = Password::sendResetLink($request->only('email'), function (Message $message) {
            $message->subject($this->getEmailSubject());
            $message->from('[email protected]', 'Name');
        });

        switch ($response) {
            case Password::RESET_LINK_SENT:
                return redirect()->back()->with('status', trans($response));

            case Password::INVALID_USER:
                return redirect()->back()->withErrors(['email' => trans($response)]);
        }
    }

In controller dont forget to add use Mail;

What do you mean by "don't forget your imports"?

FYI I am newbie

I tried use Mail; and others

Just work

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
