Add App\Support\SafeNotifier that wraps $notifiable->notify() in a Throwable guard with a logged warning, so SMTP outages (the current Gmail 535 errors) no longer propagate as a 500 to the user. Apply to the two hot paths that were still unprotected: CommentController (new comment, reply, like) and RegisteredUserController (super-admin registration alert). User::sendEmailVerificationNotification() is wrapped inline for the same reason. Also add docs/mail-setup.md covering the three delivery options: Gmail app password (quick), Mailgun, Postmark — with the exact .env keys for each.

Mail setup
Mail failures are now non-fatal — a down SMTP will log a warning in
data/logs/laravel.log but will NOT 500 the user. Still, delivery is a
feature; here's how to fix the current Gmail 535 auth errors.
Option A — Gmail App Password (quickest, free, ~500 sends/day)
-
- Enable 2-Step Verification (Google Account → Security).
- Generate an App Password (Security → App passwords → "Mail", "Other: TAKEONE").
- Copy the 16-character password Google shows (no spaces).
-
.env:MAIL_MAILER=smtp MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com MAIL_PORT=587 MAIL_USERNAME=[email protected] MAIL_PASSWORD=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx # the app password, no quotes needed MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=[email protected] MAIL_FROM_NAME="TAKEONE" -
php artisan config:clear && php artisan queue:restart -
Smoke test:
php artisan app:resend-verification --user=<id-of-an-unverified-user>
Option B — Mailgun (recommended for production)
MAIL_MAILER=mailgun
MAILGUN_DOMAIN=mg.takeone.bh
MAILGUN_SECRET=key-...
MAILGUN_ENDPOINT=api.eu.mailgun.net # or api.mailgun.net for US region
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=[email protected]
MAIL_FROM_NAME="TAKEONE"
Option C — Postmark (also fine)
MAIL_MAILER=postmark
POSTMARK_TOKEN=...
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=[email protected]
MAIL_FROM_NAME="TAKEONE"
Resend verification to users whose first email failed
# One specific user
php artisan app:resend-verification --user=42
# Everyone still unverified (dry-run first)
php artisan app:resend-verification --all-unverified --dry-run
php artisan app:resend-verification --all-unverified
