    $validator = Validator::make($request->all(), [
        'firstName' => 'required',
        'lastName' => 'required',
        'email' => 'required',
        'services' => 'required',
        'message' => 'required',

    if ($validator->fails()) {
        return redirect('en/404')
            ->withErrors($validator)
            ->withInput();
    }

    $form = $request->all();
    $message->success('The message was successfully send!');

    Mail::send('email/contact-form', compact('form'), function ($email_message) use ($form) {

        $email_message->subject($form['services']);

    return back();
}

If i try to write the input Email with email@exemple.ro i get no error but when i try to enter a gmail or other email i am getting the error above.

You messed your code here

Just replace code from

Mail::send('email/contact-form', compact('form'), function ($email_message) use ($form) {

    $email_message->subject($form['services']);
    $email_message->from($form['email']);
    $email_message->to('happy@greenfab.ro');

});

To this below one

Mail::send('email/contact-form', compact('form'), function ($email_message) use ($form) {

    $email_message->subject($form['services']);
    $email_message->from(env('MAIL_USERNAME'),$form['email']);
    $email_message->to(env('MAIL_USERNAME'));
});

You were messing code in from and to . As you can only enter email in from which can authenticate to your MAIL_HOST server on port MAIL_PORT , thats why you don't get any error when you enter your email address.

I hope this would help you.
