处理队列时未发送 Email laravel

Question

I am trying to send notification email + database notification to multiple users. I am experiencing this strange behavior with laravel queue, it sends database notification perfectly but do not send email. And If I remove the queue it works just fine, both the database notification as well as email are being received.

Note: Queue gets processed successfully.

use Illuminate\Notifications\Messages\MailMessage;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notification;

{
    use Queueable;

    private $data;

    /**
     * Create a new notification instance.

        return [

    }
}

Controller:

<?php
.

.
        $members = $task->users;
        $members = $members->merge($task->followers);

        Notification::send($members, new CommentOnTask($data));

I know this is an old question but I just got notification of this so I thought I should let fellow dev know the issue and solution.

The problem was with the SMTP server that we were using at that time, hostgator's cpanel emails' SMTP does not work with queue in order words background process, they only work if emails on runtime so we had to change our SMTP and everything started to work properly.
