In a Laravel application, the MAIL_MAILER configuration setting is used to specify the mailer driver that
should be used to send email messages from the application.
Laravel provides support for several mailer drivers, including SMTP, Mailgun, Mandrill, Amazon SES, and
others. Each driver has its own configuration options and requirements. For example, the SMTP driver
requires the configuration of SMTP host, port, username, and password, while the Mailgun driver requires
the configuration of an API key and domain name.
In this example, the MAIL_MAILER configuration setting is set to smtp, which tells Laravel to use the SMTP
mailer driver to send email messages. The other configuration settings (MAIL_HOST, MAIL_PORT,
MAIL_USERNAME, MAIL_PASSWORD, and MAIL_ENCRYPTION) provide the necessary information to configure the SMTP
mailer driver, including the SMTP server hostname, port, username, password, and encryption method.
Note that the exact configuration settings and values may vary depending on the specific mailer driver
being used. For example, if using the mailgun driver, the MAILGUN_DOMAIN and MAILGUN_SECRET configuration
settings would need to be set instead of MAIL_HOST, MAIL_PORT, MAIL_USERNAME, and MAIL_PASSWORD.
