README

A laravel package to log outgoing emails and resend. This package will store all outgoing emails inside database and will track their status if they are successfully sent or not.

Installation

This package can be installed using composer.

composer require timedoor/mail-logger

It will automatically detected by Laravel, but you could register the package's service provider manually by adding the below line to providers array inside config/app.php file.

    'providers' => [
        //
        \Timedoor\MailLogger\MailLoggerServiceProvider::class
    ]

By default, this package will use mail_logs as table name on database migration, but you could change it by editting config/mail_logger.php. Before that, you need to publish the configuration by running

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=mail-logger

Run migrations to create the table required to store the emails.

php artisan migrate

This will create a table mail_logs, or any name you gives on configuration file.

Usage

By default this package records all the outgoing mailables and notifications.

Ignoring Mailables And Notifications From Being Recorded

If you wish to ignore certain mailables or notifications from being recorded, You can add them to ignore array in config/mail_logger.php file.

Resending Mails

You can resend any mail by using the following command

php artisan mail-logger:resend-mail 1

Here 1 represents the ID of the mail to resend. The command above will send email as the logged mail sent, for example: if you send using queue, it will resend email using queue, too. In case you want to send the mail immediately, you can add option --now.

php artisan mail-logger:resend-mail 1 --now

Resending All Un-Sent Mails

If you wish to resend all the mails which are unsent, You can use the following artisan command

php artisan mail-logger:resend-unsent-mail

or

php artisan mail-logger:resend-unsent-mail --now

Since this command will only resend the mails which are failed to send, You can safely schedule this command to resend your failed emails.

$schedule->command('mail-logger:resend-unsent-mail')->daily();

Deleting Older Entries

Since this package records all outgoing emails, Your database table will start growing quickly. To automatically delete older entires, This package provides an artisan command to schedule deletion of older entries.

You can schedule deletion of older entries by adding the following line to your scheduler.

$schedule->command('mail-logger:prune --hours=72')->daily();

This will delete all entries which are older than 72 hours.

Run it via controller

If you want to resend or prune emails via controller, please look at the example below

<?php

use Timedoor\MailLogger\Logger\MailLogger;
use Timedoor\MailLogger\Models\MailLog;

class MailController extends Controller
{
    public function resend(MailLog $email)
    {
        MailLogger::resendMailById($email->id, true); //true for --now option

        return redirect()->back();
    }
    
    public function resendAll(MailLog $email)
    {
        MailLogger::resendUnsentMails(true); //true for --now option

        return redirect()->back();
    }
    
    public function prune($x)
    {
        MailLogger::pruneMails(now()->subHours($x)); // prune emails older than $x hours

        return redirect()->back();
    }
}
