Quick PHP/Laravel Fix: Update Mail.php Configuration for Akaunting Platform
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
am looking for an experienced PHP developer with knowledge of the Laravel/Akaunting framework to perform a quick configuration update on my live environment.
The Problem:
Our web host support team confirmed that the SMTP EHLO connection is passing the localhost configuration instead of the actual mail server hostname, causing delivery issues.
Scope of Work:
You will need to update the mail configuration file to explicitly fall back to our mail server hostname/IP. The specific steps required are:
Create a backup copy of Config/Mail.php.
Edit Config/Mail.php to update the local_domain line.
From: 'local_domain' => env('MAIL_EHLO_DOMAIN'),
To: 'local_domain' => env('MAIL_EHLO_DOMAIN', '[Our Server Hostname/IP]'),
Save the changes.
Clear the application cache via SSH using Artisan commands:
php artisan config:clear
php artisan cache:clear
Requirements:
Strong experience with PHP and Laravel environments (Akaunting experience is a huge plus).
Comfortable working with SSH / command line to clear application cache.
Fast turnaround time (this is a 10-15 minute task for someone who knows what they are doing).
