2. Requirements A SendGrid Account Beanstalkd Laravel go mail worker
Cloud based delivery services
Beanstalkd
queue
Laravel go mail worker
Laravel Mail sender using Sendgrid [as an example]
worker/blob/master/laravel-go-mail- worker/app/commands/Queue Command.php
worker/blob/master/go/src/zackkitzmiller/laravel-go-mail-worker/main.go

3. Must Watch Mail Queue configuration for Laravel
app/config/queue.php
Basic Mail Configuration for Laravel [Not a Must]
app/config/mail.php

4. How These All Will Work You need to queue the message in Beanstalkd
You need to configure Laravel and Laravel Go Mailer for that
From your code, you need to use methods to queue the message
$message = "This is a queue test job. We won't really need to pass data for this demo.";
Queue::push('QueueDemo', array('message' => $message));
This apparently looks like will also work
Mail::queueOn('queue-name', ' s.welcome', $data, function($message) { $message
'John Smith')
->subject('Welcome!'); });
Then the GO application will send this
It’s Laravel go mail worker
Then Go mailer will use SendGrid to send the mail

5. How These All Will Work Configuration for Go mail worker
BEANSTALKD: location of the beanstalk installation (e.g. localhost:11300)
SENDGRID_USER: username for sendgrid account
SENDGRID_PASS: password for sendgrid account

6. Installation Install Go Mailer
Artisan command send. Will do that for you
Not sure yet that it will work; after working with it, I will update
Though you can get the copy of the Laravel- go-mailer and use that for sure

8. Miscellaneous
Beanstalkd listed as the default in Laravel- go-mailer queue config file
mail-worker/blob/master/laravel-go-mail- worker/app/config/queue.php
These are the environment variables
Set SENDGRID_USER, SENDGRID_PASS, and BEANSTALKD env vars
Can be set in Linux profile type files
Also from within PHP you can set

9. Environment Variables and PHP
echo 'My username is ' .$_ENV["USER"] . '!';
// Example use of getenv() $ip = getenv('REMOTE_ADDR');
putenv("UNIQID=$uniqid");

10. Beanstalkd Configuration File Content

autostart=true
