Server/Laravel 5.1 - Mail storage?

Question

So I developed an application with laravel and everything is running fine. I had mail as my mail driver but my server was misconfigured, or let's say, postfix was not installed. So the mail a user sent via contact form in my laravel app never got sent. Laravel never complained so I didn't even see any errors in the logs.

My question is: Did laravel or my server save the mail it tried to send anywhere so I could see what the user tried to send me?

Answer 1

Unless you've somehow manually added mail logging, this won't be logged for you to send later.

Laravel's Mail functionality does include a Log driver , so that mail writes to a log- but this does not work in tandem with the other drivers, so you likely have zero logs currently.

There are also several results in google on how to implement global logging for all mail sent, maybe check out this or look into laravel events.
