Debugging Laravel Mail::send()

Question

On my shared host, PHP mail function works fine, but I can't send email using Laravel Mail::send().

when config/mail.php driver field is set to smtp, Mail::send() returns false when the field is set to mail the method returns true but the email isn't sent.

How can I debug this?

Answer 1

I don't know why, but when requests start with WWW, the Laravel Mail::send() works but with requests without WWW it fails so I just forced WWW using .htacess 301 redirects.
