Sending Emails with Mailer

Installation

Symfony's Mailer & :doc:`Mime </components/mime>` components form a powerful system for creating and sending emails - complete with support for multipart messages, Twig integration, CSS inlining, file attachments and a lot more. Get them installed with:

$ composer require symfony/mailer

Transport Setup

Emails are delivered via a "transport". Out of the box, you can deliver emails over SMTP by configuring the DSN in your .env file (the user, pass and port parameters are optional):

# .env
MAILER_DSN=smtp://user:pass@smtp.example.com:port

.. configuration-block::

    .. code-block:: yaml

        # config/packages/mailer.yaml
        framework:
            mailer:
                dsn: '%env(MAILER_DSN)%'

    .. code-block:: xml

        <!-- config/packages/mailer.xml -->
        <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
        <container xmlns="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services"
            xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
            xmlns:framework="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/symfony"
            xsi:schemaLocation="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services
                https://symfony.com/schema/dic/services/services-1.0.xsd
                http://symfony.com/schema/dic/symfony https://symfony.com/schema/dic/symfony/symfony-1.0.xsd">

            <framework:config>
                <framework:mailer dsn="%env(MAILER_DSN)%"/>
            </framework:config>
        </container>

    .. code-block:: php

        // config/packages/mailer.php
        use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\Loader\Configurator\ContainerConfigurator;

        return static function (ContainerConfigurator $containerConfigurator): void {
            $containerConfigurator->extension('framework', [
                'mailer' => [
                    'dsn' => env('MAILER_DSN'),
                ],
            ]);
        };

Caution!

If the username, password or host contain any character considered special in a URI (such as +, @, $, #, /, :, *, !), you must encode them. See RFC 3986 for the full list of reserved characters or use the :phpfunction:`urlencode` function to encode them.

Using Built-in Transports

DSN protocol	Example	Description
smtp	`smtp://user:pass@smtp.example.com:25`	Mailer uses an SMTP server to send emails
sendmail	`sendmail://default`	Mailer uses the local sendmail binary to send emails
native	`native://default`	Mailer uses the sendmail binary and options configured in the `sendmail_path` setting of `php.ini`. On Windows hosts, Mailer fallbacks to `smtp` and `smtp_port` `php.ini` settings when `sendmail_path` is not configured.

Caution!

When using native://default, if php.ini uses the sendmail -t command, you won't have error reporting and Bcc headers won't be removed. It's highly recommended to NOT use native://default as you cannot control how sendmail is configured (prefer using sendmail://default if possible).

Using a 3rd Party Transport

Instead of using your own SMTP server or sendmail binary, you can send emails via a 3rd party provider. Mailer supports several - install whichever you want:

Service	Install with
Amazon SES	`composer require symfony/amazon-mailer`
Gmail	`composer require symfony/google-mailer`
MailChimp	`composer require symfony/mailchimp-mailer`
Mailgun	`composer require symfony/mailgun-mailer`
Mailjet	`composer require symfony/mailjet-mailer`
Postmark	`composer require symfony/postmark-mailer`
SendGrid	`composer require symfony/sendgrid-mailer`
Sendinblue	`composer require symfony/sendinblue-mailer`
MailPace	`composer require symfony/mailpace-mailer`
Infobip	`composer require symfony/infobip-mailer`

.. versionadded:: 6.2

    The ``MailPace`` integration was introduced in Symfony 6.2 (in previous
    Symfony versions it was called ``OhMySMTP``).

.. versionadded:: 6.2

    The Infobip integration was introduced in Symfony 6.2.

Each library includes a :ref:`Symfony Flex recipe <symfony-flex>` that will add a configuration example to your .env file. For example, suppose you want to use SendGrid. First, install it:

$ composer require symfony/sendgrid-mailer

You'll now have a new line in your .env file that you can uncomment:

# .env
MAILER_DSN=sendgrid://KEY@default

The MAILER_DSN isn't a real address: it's a convenient format that offloads most of the configuration work to mailer. The sendgrid scheme activates the SendGrid provider that you just installed, which knows all about how to deliver messages via SendGrid. The only part you need to change is the KEY placeholder.

Each provider has different environment variables that the Mailer uses to configure the actual protocol, address and authentication for delivery. Some also have options that can be configured with query parameters at the end of the MAILER_DSN - like ?region= for Amazon SES or Mailgun. Some providers support sending via http, api or smtp. Symfony chooses the best available transport, but you can force to use one:

# .env
# force to use SMTP instead of HTTP (which is the default)
MAILER_DSN=sendgrid+smtp://$SENDGRID_KEY@default

This table shows the full list of available DSN formats for each third party provider:

Provider	SMTP	HTTP	API
Amazon SES	ses+smtp://USERNAME:PASSWORD@default	ses+https://ACCESS_KEY:SECRET_KEY@default	ses+api://ACCESS_KEY:SECRET_KEY@default
Google Gmail	gmail+smtp://USERNAME:PASSWORD@default	n/a	n/a
Mailchimp Mandrill	mandrill+smtp://USERNAME:PASSWORD@default	mandrill+https://KEY@default	mandrill+api://KEY@default
Mailgun	mailgun+smtp://USERNAME:PASSWORD@default	mailgun+https://KEY:DOMAIN@default	mailgun+api://KEY:DOMAIN@default
Mailjet	mailjet+smtp://ACCESS_KEY:SECRET_KEY@default	n/a	mailjet+api://ACCESS_KEY:SECRET_KEY@default
MailPace	mailpace+api://API_TOKEN@default	n/a	mailpace+api://API_TOKEN@default
Postmark	postmark+smtp://ID@default	n/a	postmark+api://KEY@default
Sendgrid	sendgrid+smtp://KEY@default	n/a	sendgrid+api://KEY@default
Sendinblue	sendinblue+smtp://USERNAME:PASSWORD@default	n/a	sendinblue+api://KEY@default
Infobip	infobip+smtp://KEY@default	n/a	infobip+api://KEY@BASE_URL

Caution!

If your credentials contain special characters, you must URL-encode them. For example, the DSN ses+smtp://ABC1234:abc+12/345@default should be configured as ses+smtp://ABC1234:abc%2B12%2F345@default

Caution!

If you want to use the ses+smtp transport together with :doc:`Messenger </messenger>` to :ref:`send messages in background <mailer-sending-messages-async>`, you need to add the ping_threshold parameter to your MAILER_DSN with a value lower than 10: ses+smtp://USERNAME:PASSWORD@default?ping_threshold=9

Note

When using SMTP, the default timeout for sending a message before throwing an exception is the value defined in the default_socket_timeout PHP.ini option.

Tip

If you want to override the default host for a provider (to debug an issue using a service like requestbin.com), change default by your host:

# .env
MAILER_DSN=mailgun+https://KEY:DOMAIN@requestbin.com

Note that the protocol is always HTTPs and cannot be changed.

High Availability

Symfony's mailer supports high availability via a technique called "failover" to ensure that emails are sent even if one mailer server fails.

A failover transport is configured with two or more transports and the failover keyword:

MAILER_DSN="failover(postmark+api://ID@default sendgrid+smtp://KEY@default)"

The failover-transport starts using the first transport and if it fails, it will retry the same delivery with the next transports until one of them succeeds (or until all of them fail).

Load Balancing

Symfony's mailer supports load balancing via a technique called "round-robin" to distribute the mailing workload across multiple transports.

A round-robin transport is configured with two or more transports and the roundrobin keyword:

MAILER_DSN="roundrobin(postmark+api://ID@default sendgrid+smtp://KEY@default)"

The round-robin transport starts with a randomly selected transport and then switches to the next available transport for each subsequent email.

As with the failover transport, round-robin retries deliveries until a transport succeeds (or all fail). In contrast to the failover transport, it spreads the load across all its transports.

TLS Peer Verification

By default, SMTP transports perform TLS peer verification. This behavior is configurable with the verify_peer option. Although it's not recommended to disable this verification for security reasons, it can be useful while developing the application or when using a self-signed certificate:

$dsn = 'smtp://user:pass@smtp.example.com?verify_peer=0';

Other Options

command

Command to be executed by sendmail transport:

$dsn = 'sendmail://default?command=/usr/sbin/sendmail%20-oi%20-t'

local_domain

The domain name to use in HELO command:

$dsn = 'smtps://smtp.example.com?local_domain=example.org'

restart_threshold

The maximum number of messages to send before re-starting the transport. It can be used together with restart_threshold_sleep:

$dsn = 'smtps://smtp.example.com?restart_threshold=10&restart_threshold_sleep=1'

restart_threshold_sleep

The number of seconds to sleep between stopping and re-starting the transport. It's common to combine it with restart_threshold:

$dsn = 'smtps://smtp.example.com?restart_threshold=10&restart_threshold_sleep=1'

ping_threshold

The minimum number of seconds between two messages required to ping the server:

$dsn = 'smtps://smtp.example.com?ping_threshold=200'

max_per_second

The number of messages to send per second (0 to disable this limitation):

$dsn = 'smtps://smtp.example.com?max_per_second=2'

.. versionadded:: 6.2

    The ``max_per_second`` option was introduced in Symfony 6.2.

Creating & Sending Messages

To send an email, get a :class:`Symfony\\Component\\Mailer\\Mailer` instance by type-hinting :class:`Symfony\\Component\\Mailer\\MailerInterface` and create an :class:`Symfony\\Component\\Mime\\Email` object:

// src/Controller/MailerController.php
namespace App\Controller;

use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\AbstractController;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
use Symfony\Component\Mailer\MailerInterface;
use Symfony\Component\Mime\Email;
use Symfony\Component\Routing\Annotation\Route;

class MailerController extends AbstractController
{
    #[Route('/email')]
    public function sendEmail(MailerInterface $mailer): Response
    {
        $email = (new Email())
            ->from('hello@example.com')
            ->to('you@example.com')
            //->cc('cc@example.com')
            //->bcc('bcc@example.com')
            //->replyTo('fabien@example.com')
            //->priority(Email::PRIORITY_HIGH)
            ->subject('Time for Symfony Mailer!')
            ->text('Sending emails is fun again!')
            ->html('<p>See Twig integration for better HTML integration!</p>');

        $mailer->send($email);

        // ...
    }
}

That's it! The message will be sent via the transport you configured. If the transport is configured to :ref:`send emails asynchronously <mailer-sending-messages-async>`, the message won't be actually sent until :doc:`a worker consumes it <messenger-worker>`.

Email Addresses

All the methods that require email addresses (from(), to(), etc.) accept both strings or address objects:

// ...
use Symfony\Component\Mime\Address;

$email = (new Email())
    // email address as a simple string
    ->from('fabien@example.com')

    // email address as an object
    ->from(new Address('fabien@example.com'))

    // defining the email address and name as an object
    // (email clients will display the name)
    ->from(new Address('fabien@example.com', 'Fabien'))

    // defining the email address and name as a string
    // (the format must match: 'Name <email@example.com>')
    ->from(Address::create('Fabien Potencier <fabien@example.com>'))

    // ...
;

Tip

Instead of calling ->from() every time you create a new email, you can :ref:`configure emails globally <mailer-configure-email-globally>` to set the same From email to all messages.

Note

The local part of the address (what goes before the @) can include UTF-8 characters, except for the sender address (to avoid issues with bounced emails). For example: föóbàr@example.com, 用户@example.com, θσερ@example.com, etc.

Use addTo(), addCc(), or addBcc() methods to add more addresses:

$email = (new Email())
    ->to('foo@example.com')
    ->addTo('bar@example.com')
    ->cc('cc@example.com')
    ->addCc('cc2@example.com')

    // ...
;

Alternatively, you can pass multiple addresses to each method:

$toAddresses = ['foo@example.com', new Address('bar@example.com')];

$email = (new Email())
    ->to(...$toAddresses)
    ->cc('cc1@example.com', 'cc2@example.com')

    // ...
;

Message Headers

Messages include a number of header fields to describe their contents. Symfony sets all the required headers automatically, but you can set your own headers too. There are different types of headers (Id header, Mailbox header, Date header, etc.) but most of the times you'll set text headers:

$email = (new Email())
    ->getHeaders()
        // this non-standard header tells compliant autoresponders ("email holiday mode") to not
        // reply to this message because it's an automated email
        ->addTextHeader('X-Auto-Response-Suppress', 'OOF, DR, RN, NRN, AutoReply')

        // use an array if you want to add a header with multiple values
        // (for example in the "References" or "In-Reply-To" header)
        ->addIdHeader('References', ['123@example.com', '456@example.com']);
    // ...
;

Tip

Instead of calling ->addTextHeader() every time you create a new email, you can :ref:`configure emails globally <mailer-configure-email-globally>` to set the same headers to all sent emails.

Message Contents

The text and HTML contents of the email messages can be strings (usually the result of rendering some template) or PHP resources:

$email = (new Email())
    // ...
    // simple contents defined as a string
    ->text('Lorem ipsum...')
    ->html('<p>Lorem ipsum...</p>')

    // attach a file stream
    ->text(fopen('/path/to/emails/user_signup.txt', 'r'))
    ->html(fopen('/path/to/emails/user_signup.html', 'r'))
;

Tip

You can also use Twig templates to render the HTML and text contents. Read the Twig: HTML & CSS section later in this article to learn more.

File Attachments

Use the addPart() method with a BodyFile to add files that exist on your file system:

$email = (new Email())
    // ...
    ->addPart(new DataPart(new BodyFile('/path/to/documents/terms-of-use.pdf')))
    // optionally you can tell email clients to display a custom name for the file
    ->addPart(new DataPart(new BodyFile('/path/to/documents/privacy.pdf', 'Privacy Policy')))
    // optionally you can provide an explicit MIME type (otherwise it's guessed)
    ->addPart(new DataPart(new BodyFile('/path/to/documents/contract.doc', 'Contract', 'application/msword')))
;

Alternatively you can attach contents from a stream by passing it directly to the DataPart

$email = (new Email())
    // ...
    ->addPart(new DataPart(fopen('/path/to/documents/contract.doc', 'r')))
;

.. deprecated:: 6.2

    In Symfony versions previous to 6.2, the methods ``attachFromPath()`` and
    ``attach()`` could be used to add attachments. These methods have been
    deprecated and replaced with ``addPart()``.

Embedding Images

If you want to display images inside your email, you must embed them instead of adding them as attachments. When using Twig to render the email contents, as explained :ref:`later in this article <mailer-twig-embedding-images>`, the images are embedded automatically. Otherwise, you need to embed them manually.

First, use the addPart() method to add an image from a file or stream:

$email = (new Email())
    // ...
    // get the image contents from a PHP resource
    ->addPart((new DataPart(fopen('/path/to/images/logo.png', 'r'), 'logo', 'image/png'))->asInline())
    // get the image contents from an existing file
    ->addPart((new DataPart(new BodyFile('/path/to/images/signature.gif', 'footer-signature', 'image/gif')))->asInline())
;

Use the asInline() method to embed the content instead of attaching it.

The second optional argument of both methods is the image name ("Content-ID" in the MIME standard). Its value is an arbitrary string used later to reference the images inside the HTML contents:

$email = (new Email())
    // ...
    ->addPart((new DataPart(fopen('/path/to/images/logo.png', 'r'), 'logo', 'image/png'))->asInline())
    ->addPart((new DataPart(new BodyFile('/path/to/images/signature.gif', 'footer-signature', 'image/gif')))->asInline())

    // reference images using the syntax 'cid:' + "image embed name"
    ->html('<img src="cid:logo"> ... <img src="cid:footer-signature"> ...')

    // use the same syntax for images included as HTML background images
    ->html('... <div background="cid:footer-signature"> ... </div> ...')
;

.. versionadded:: 6.1

    The support of embedded images as HTML backgrounds was introduced in Symfony 6.1.

.. deprecated:: 6.2

    In Symfony versions previous to 6.2, the methods ``embedFromPath()`` and
    ``embed()`` could be used to embed images. These methods have been deprecated
    and replaced with ``addPart()`` together with inline ``DataPart`` objects.

Configuring Emails Globally

Instead of calling ->from() on each Email you create, you can configure this value globally so that it is set on all sent emails. The same is true with ->to() and headers.

.. configuration-block::

    .. code-block:: yaml

        # config/packages/dev/mailer.yaml
        framework:
            mailer:
                envelope:
                    sender: 'fabien@example.com'
                    recipients: ['foo@example.com', 'bar@example.com']
                headers:
                    From: 'Fabien <fabien@example.com>'
                    Bcc: 'baz@example.com'
                    X-Custom-Header: 'foobar'

    .. code-block:: xml

        <!-- config/packages/mailer.xml -->
        <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
        <container xmlns="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services"
            xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
            xmlns:framework="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/symfony"
            xsi:schemaLocation="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services
                https://symfony.com/schema/dic/services/services-1.0.xsd
                http://symfony.com/schema/dic/symfony https://symfony.com/schema/dic/symfony/symfony-1.0.xsd">

            <!-- ... -->
            <framework:config>
                <framework:mailer>
                    <framework:envelope>
                        <framework:sender>fabien@example.com</framework:sender>
                        <framework:recipients>foo@example.com</framework:recipients>
                        <framework:recipients>bar@example.com</framework:recipients>
                    </framework:envelope>
                    <framework:header name="From">Fabien &lt;fabien@example.com&gt;</framework:header>
                    <framework:header name="Bcc">baz@example.com</framework:header>
                    <framework:header name="X-Custom-Header">foobar</framework:header>
                </framework:mailer>
            </framework:config>
        </container>

    .. code-block:: php

        // config/packages/mailer.php
        use Symfony\Config\FrameworkConfig;

        return static function (FrameworkConfig $framework) {
            $mailer = $framework->mailer();
            $mailer
                ->envelope()
                    ->sender('fabien@example.com')
                    ->recipients(['foo@example.com', 'bar@example.com'])
            ;

            $mailer->header('From')->value('Fabien <fabien@example.com>');
            $mailer->header('Bcc')->value('baz@example.com');
            $mailer->header('X-Custom-Header')->value('foobar');
        };

Caution!

Some third-party providers don't support the usage of keywords like from in the headers. Check out your provider's documentation before setting any global header.

Handling Sending Failures

Symfony Mailer considers that sending was successful when your transport (SMTP server or third-party provider) accepts the mail for further delivery. The message can later be lost or not delivered because of some problem in your provider, but that's out of reach for your Symfony application.

If there's an error when handing over the email to your transport, Symfony throws a :class:`Symfony\\Component\\Mailer\\Exception\\TransportExceptionInterface`. Catch that exception to recover from the error or to display some message:

use Symfony\Component\Mailer\Exception\TransportExceptionInterface;

$email = new Email();
// ...
try {
    $mailer->send($email);
} catch (TransportExceptionInterface $e) {
    // some error prevented the email sending; display an
    // error message or try to resend the message
}

Debugging Emails

The :class:`Symfony\\Component\\Mailer\\SentMessage` object returned by the send() method of the :class:`Symfony\\Component\\Mailer\\Transport\\TransportInterface` provides access to the original message (getOriginalMessage()) and to some debug information (getDebug()) such as the HTTP calls done by the HTTP transports, which is useful to debug errors.

Note

Some mailer providers change the Message-Id when sending the email. The getMessageId() method from SentMessage always returns the definitive ID of the message (being the original random ID generated by Symfony or the new ID generated by the mailer provider).

The exceptions related to mailer transports (those which implement :class:`Symfony\\Component\\Mailer\\Exception\\TransportException`) also provide this debug information via the getDebug() method.

Twig: HTML & CSS

The Mime component integrates with the :ref:`Twig template engine <twig-language>` to provide advanced features such as CSS style inlining and support for HTML/CSS frameworks to create complex HTML email messages. First, make sure Twig is installed:

$ composer require symfony/twig-bundle

# or if you're using the component in a non-Symfony app:
# composer require symfony/twig-bridge

HTML Content

To define the contents of your email with Twig, use the :class:`Symfony\\Bridge\\Twig\\Mime\\TemplatedEmail` class. This class extends the normal :class:`Symfony\\Component\\Mime\\Email` class but adds some new methods for Twig templates:

use Symfony\Bridge\Twig\Mime\TemplatedEmail;

$email = (new TemplatedEmail())
    ->from('fabien@example.com')
    ->to(new Address('ryan@example.com'))
    ->subject('Thanks for signing up!')

    // path of the Twig template to render
    ->htmlTemplate('emails/signup.html.twig')

    // pass variables (name => value) to the template
    ->context([
        'expiration_date' => new \DateTime('+7 days'),
        'username' => 'foo',
    ])
;

Then, create the template:

{# templates/emails/signup.html.twig #}
<h1>Welcome {{ email.toName }}!</h1>

<p>
    You signed up as {{ username }} the following email:
</p>
<p><code>{{ email.to[0].address }}</code></p>

<p>
    <a href="#">Click here to activate your account</a>
    (this link is valid until {{ expiration_date|date('F jS') }})
</p>

The Twig template has access to any of the parameters passed in the context() method of the TemplatedEmail class and also to a special variable called email, which is an instance of :class:`Symfony\\Bridge\\Twig\\Mime\\WrappedTemplatedEmail`.

Text Content

When the text content of a TemplatedEmail is not explicitly defined, mailer will generate it automatically by converting the HTML contents into text. If you have league/html-to-markdown installed in your application, it uses that to turn HTML into Markdown (so the text email has some visual appeal). Otherwise, it applies the :phpfunction:`strip_tags` PHP function to the original HTML contents.

If you want to define the text content yourself, use the text() method explained in the previous sections or the textTemplate() method provided by the TemplatedEmail class:

+ use Symfony\Bridge\Twig\Mime\TemplatedEmail;

$email = (new TemplatedEmail())
    // ...

    ->htmlTemplate('emails/signup.html.twig')
+     ->textTemplate('emails/signup.txt.twig')
    // ...
;

Embedding Images

Instead of dealing with the <img src="cid: ..."> syntax explained in the previous sections, when using Twig to render email contents you can refer to image files as usual. First, to simplify things, define a Twig namespace called images that points to whatever directory your images are stored in:

.. configuration-block::

    .. code-block:: yaml

        # config/packages/twig.yaml
        twig:
            # ...

            paths:
                # point this wherever your images live
                '%kernel.project_dir%/assets/images': images

    .. code-block:: xml

        <!-- config/packages/twig.xml -->
        <container xmlns="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services"
            xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
            xmlns:twig="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/twig"
            xsi:schemaLocation="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services
                https://symfony.com/schema/dic/services/services-1.0.xsd
                http://symfony.com/schema/dic/twig https://symfony.com/schema/dic/twig/twig-1.0.xsd">

            <twig:config>
                <!-- ... -->

                <!-- point this wherever your images live -->
                <twig:path namespace="images">%kernel.project_dir%/assets/images</twig:path>
            </twig:config>
        </container>

    .. code-block:: php

        // config/packages/twig.php
        use Symfony\Config\TwigConfig;

        return static function (TwigConfig $twig) {
            // ...

            // point this wherever your images live
            $twig->path('%kernel.project_dir%/assets/images', 'images');
        };

Now, use the special email.image() Twig helper to embed the images inside the email contents:

{# '@images/' refers to the Twig namespace defined earlier #}
<img src="{{ email.image('@images/logo.png') }}" alt="Logo">

<h1>Welcome {{ email.toName }}!</h1>
{# ... #}

Inlining CSS Styles

Designing the HTML contents of an email is very different from designing a normal HTML page. For starters, most email clients only support a subset of all CSS features. In addition, popular email clients like Gmail don't support defining styles inside <style> ... </style> sections and you must inline all the CSS styles.

CSS inlining means that every HTML tag must define a style attribute with all its CSS styles. This can make organizing your CSS a mess. That's why Twig provides a CssInlinerExtension that automates everything for you. Install it with:

$ composer require twig/extra-bundle twig/cssinliner-extra

The extension is enabled automatically. To use it, wrap the entire template with the inline_css filter:

{% apply inline_css %}
    <style>
        {# here, define your CSS styles as usual #}
        h1 {
            color: #333;
        }
    </style>

    <h1>Welcome {{ email.toName }}!</h1>
    {# ... #}
{% endapply %}

Using External CSS Files

You can also define CSS styles in external files and pass them as arguments to the filter:

{% apply inline_css(source('@styles/email.css')) %}
    <h1>Welcome {{ username }}!</h1>
    {# ... #}
{% endapply %}

You can pass unlimited number of arguments to inline_css() to load multiple CSS files. For this example to work, you also need to define a new Twig namespace called styles that points to the directory where email.css lives:

.. configuration-block::

    .. code-block:: yaml

        # config/packages/twig.yaml
        twig:
            # ...

            paths:
                # point this wherever your css files live
                '%kernel.project_dir%/assets/styles': styles

    .. code-block:: xml

        <!-- config/packages/twig.xml -->
        <container xmlns="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services"
            xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
            xmlns:twig="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/twig"
            xsi:schemaLocation="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services
                https://symfony.com/schema/dic/services/services-1.0.xsd
                http://symfony.com/schema/dic/twig https://symfony.com/schema/dic/twig/twig-1.0.xsd">

            <twig:config>
                <!-- ... -->

                <!-- point this wherever your css files live -->
                <twig:path namespace="styles">%kernel.project_dir%/assets/styles</twig:path>
            </twig:config>
        </container>

    .. code-block:: php

        // config/packages/twig.php
        use Symfony\Config\TwigConfig;

        return static function (TwigConfig $twig) {
            // ...

            // point this wherever your css files live
            $twig->path('%kernel.project_dir%/assets/styles', 'styles');
        };

Rendering Markdown Content

Twig provides another extension called MarkdownExtension that lets you define the email contents using Markdown syntax. To use this, install the extension and a Markdown conversion library (the extension is compatible with several popular libraries):

# instead of league/commonmark, you can also use erusev/parsedown or michelf/php-markdown
$ composer require twig/extra-bundle twig/markdown-extra league/commonmark

The extension adds a markdown_to_html filter, which you can use to convert parts or the entire email contents from Markdown to HTML:

{% apply markdown_to_html %}
    Welcome {{ email.toName }}!
    ===========================

    You signed up to our site using the following email:
    `{{ email.to[0].address }}`

    [Click here to activate your account]({{ url('...') }})
{% endapply %}

Inky Email Templating Language

Creating beautifully designed emails that work on every email client is so complex that there are HTML/CSS frameworks dedicated to that. One of the most popular frameworks is called Inky. It defines a syntax based on some HTML-like tags which are later transformed into the real HTML code sent to users:

<!-- a simplified example of the Inky syntax -->
<container>
    <row>
        <columns>This is a column.</columns>
    </row>
</container>

Twig provides integration with Inky via the InkyExtension. First, install the extension in your application:

$ composer require twig/extra-bundle twig/inky-extra

The extension adds an inky_to_html filter, which can be used to convert parts or the entire email contents from Inky to HTML:

{% apply inky_to_html %}
    <container>
        <row class="header">
            <columns>
                <spacer size="16"></spacer>
                <h1 class="text-center">Welcome {{ email.toName }}!</h1>
            </columns>

            {# ... #}
        </row>
    </container>
{% endapply %}

You can combine all filters to create complex email messages:

{% apply inky_to_html|inline_css(source('@styles/foundation-emails.css')) %}
    {# ... #}
{% endapply %}

This makes use of the :ref:`styles Twig namespace <mailer-css-namespace>` we created earlier. You could, for example, download the foundation-emails.css file directly from GitHub and save it in assets/styles.

Signing and Encrypting Messages

It's possible to sign and/or encrypt email messages to increase their integrity/security. Both options can be combined to encrypt a signed message and/or to sign an encrypted message.

Before signing/encrypting messages, make sure to have:

The OpenSSL PHP extension properly installed and configured;
A valid S/MIME security certificate.

Tip

When using OpenSSL to generate certificates, make sure to add the -addtrust emailProtection command option.

Signing Messages

When signing a message, a cryptographic hash is generated for the entire content of the message (including attachments). This hash is added as an attachment so the recipient can validate the integrity of the received message. However, the contents of the original message are still readable for mailing agents not supporting signed messages, so you must also encrypt the message if you want to hide its contents.

You can sign messages using either S/MIME or DKIM. In both cases, the certificate and private key must be PEM encoded, and can be either created using for example OpenSSL or obtained at an official Certificate Authority (CA). The email recipient must have the CA certificate in the list of trusted issuers in order to verify the signature.

S/MIME Signer

S/MIME is a standard for public key encryption and signing of MIME data. It requires using both a certificate and a private key:

use Symfony\Component\Mime\Crypto\SMimeSigner;
use Symfony\Component\Mime\Email;

$email = (new Email())
    ->from('hello@example.com')
    // ...
    ->html('...');

$signer = new SMimeSigner('/path/to/certificate.crt', '/path/to/certificate-private-key.key');
// if the private key has a passphrase, pass it as the third argument
// new SMimeSigner('/path/to/certificate.crt', '/path/to/certificate-private-key.key', 'the-passphrase');

$signedEmail = $signer->sign($email);
// now use the Mailer component to send this $signedEmail instead of the original email

Tip

The SMimeSigner class defines other optional arguments to pass intermediate certificates and to configure the signing process using a bitwise operator options for :phpfunction:`openssl_pkcs7_sign` PHP function.

DKIM Signer

DKIM is an email authentication method that affixes a digital signature, linked to a domain name, to each outgoing email messages. It requires a private key but not a certificate:

use Symfony\Component\Mime\Crypto\DkimSigner;
use Symfony\Component\Mime\Email;

$email = (new Email())
    ->from('hello@example.com')
    // ...
    ->html('...');

// first argument: same as openssl_pkey_get_private(), either a string with the
// contents of the private key or the absolute path to it (prefixed with 'file://')
// second and third arguments: the domain name and "selector" used to perform a DNS lookup
// (the selector is a string used to point to a specific DKIM public key record in your DNS)
$signer = new DkimSigner('file:///path/to/private-key.key', 'example.com', 'sf');
// if the private key has a passphrase, pass it as the fifth argument
// new DkimSigner('file:///path/to/private-key.key', 'example.com', 'sf', [], 'the-passphrase');

$signedEmail = $signer->sign($email);
// now use the Mailer component to send this $signedEmail instead of the original email

// DKIM signer provides many config options and a helper object to configure them
use Symfony\Component\Mime\Crypto\DkimOptions;

$signedEmail = $signer->sign($email, (new DkimOptions())
    ->bodyCanon('relaxed')
    ->headerCanon('relaxed')
    ->headersToIgnore(['Message-ID'])
    ->toArray()
);

Encrypting Messages

When encrypting a message, the entire message (including attachments) is encrypted using a certificate. Therefore, only the recipients that have the corresponding private key can read the original message contents:

use Symfony\Component\Mime\Crypto\SMimeEncrypter;
use Symfony\Component\Mime\Email;

$email = (new Email())
    ->from('hello@example.com')
    // ...
    ->html('...');

$encrypter = new SMimeEncrypter('/path/to/certificate.crt');
$encryptedEmail = $encrypter->encrypt($email);
// now use the Mailer component to send this $encryptedEmail instead of the original email

You can pass more than one certificate to the SMimeEncrypter constructor and it will select the appropriate certificate depending on the To option:

$firstEmail = (new Email())
    // ...
    ->to('jane@example.com');

$secondEmail = (new Email())
    // ...
    ->to('john@example.com');

// the second optional argument of SMimeEncrypter defines which encryption algorithm is used
// (it must be one of these constants: https://www.php.net/manual/en/openssl.ciphers.php)
$encrypter = new SMimeEncrypter([
    // key = email recipient; value = path to the certificate file
    'jane@example.com' => '/path/to/first-certificate.crt',
    'john@example.com' => '/path/to/second-certificate.crt',
]);

$firstEncryptedEmail = $encrypter->encrypt($firstEmail);
$secondEncryptedEmail = $encrypter->encrypt($secondEmail);

Multiple Email Transports

You may want to use more than one mailer transport for delivery of your messages. This can be configured by replacing the dsn configuration entry with a transports entry, like:

.. configuration-block::

    .. code-block:: yaml

        # config/packages/mailer.yaml
        framework:
            mailer:
                transports:
                    main: '%env(MAILER_DSN)%'
                    alternative: '%env(MAILER_DSN_IMPORTANT)%'

    .. code-block:: xml

        <!-- config/packages/mailer.xml -->
        <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
        <container xmlns="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services"
            xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
            xmlns:framework="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/symfony"
            xsi:schemaLocation="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services
                https://symfony.com/schema/dic/services/services-1.0.xsd
                http://symfony.com/schema/dic/symfony https://symfony.com/schema/dic/symfony/symfony-1.0.xsd">

            <!-- ... -->
            <framework:config>
                <framework:mailer>
                    <framework:transport name="main">%env(MAILER_DSN)%</framework:transport>
                    <framework:transport name="alternative">%env(MAILER_DSN_IMPORTANT)%</framework:transport>
                </framework:mailer>
            </framework:config>
        </container>

    .. code-block:: php

        // config/packages/mailer.php
        use Symfony\Config\FrameworkConfig;

        return static function (FrameworkConfig $framework) {
            $framework->mailer()
                ->transport('main', env('MAILER_DSN'))
                ->transport('alternative', env('MAILER_DSN_IMPORTANT'))
            ;
        };

By default the first transport is used. The other transports can be selected by adding an X-Transport header (which Mailer will remove automatically from the final email):

// Send using first transport ("main"):
$mailer->send($email);

// ... or use the transport "alternative":
$email->getHeaders()->addTextHeader('X-Transport', 'alternative');
$mailer->send($email);

Sending Messages Async

When you call $mailer->send($email), the email is sent to the transport immediately. To improve performance, you can leverage :doc:`Messenger </messenger>` to send the messages later via a Messenger transport.

Start by following the :doc:`Messenger </messenger>` documentation and configuring a transport. Once everything is set up, when you call $mailer->send(), a :class:`Symfony\\Component\\Mailer\\Messenger\\SendEmailMessage` message will be dispatched through the default message bus (messenger.default_bus). Assuming you have a transport called async, you can route the message there:

.. configuration-block::

    .. code-block:: yaml

        # config/packages/messenger.yaml
        framework:
            messenger:
                transports:
                    async: "%env(MESSENGER_TRANSPORT_DSN)%"

                routing:
                    'Symfony\Component\Mailer\Messenger\SendEmailMessage': async

    .. code-block:: xml

        <!-- config/packages/messenger.xml -->
        <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
        <container xmlns="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services"
            xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
            xmlns:framework="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/symfony"
            xsi:schemaLocation="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services
                https://symfony.com/schema/dic/services/services-1.0.xsd
                http://symfony.com/schema/dic/symfony
                https://symfony.com/schema/dic/symfony/symfony-1.0.xsd">

            <framework:config>
                <framework:messenger>
                    <framework:transport name="async">%env(MESSENGER_TRANSPORT_DSN)%</framework:transport>
                    <framework:routing message-class="Symfony\Component\Mailer\Messenger\SendEmailMessage">
                        <framework:sender service="async"/>
                    </framework:routing>
                </framework:messenger>
            </framework:config>
        </container>

    .. code-block:: php

        // config/packages/messenger.php
        use Symfony\Config\FrameworkConfig;

        return static function (FrameworkConfig $framework) {
            $framework->messenger()
                ->transport('async')->dsn(env('MESSENGER_TRANSPORT_DSN'));

            $framework->messenger()
                ->routing('Symfony\Component\Mailer\Messenger\SendEmailMessage')
                ->senders(['async']);
        };

Thanks to this, instead of being delivered immediately, messages will be sent to the transport to be handled later (see :ref:`messenger-worker`). Note that the "rendering" of the email (computed headers, body rendering, ...) is also deferred and will only happen just before the email is sent by the Messenger handler.

.. versionadded:: 6.2

    The following example about rendering the email before calling
    ``$mailer->send($email)`` works as of Symfony 6.2.

When sending an email asynchronously, its instance must be serializable. This is always the case for :class:`Symfony\\Bridge\\Twig\\Mime\\Email` instances, but when sending a :class:`Symfony\\Bridge\\Twig\\Mime\\TemplatedEmail`, you must ensure that the context is serializable. If you have non-serializable variables, like Doctrine entities, either replace them with more specific variables or render the email before calling $mailer->send($email):

use Symfony\Component\Mailer\MailerInterface;
use Symfony\Component\Mime\BodyRendererInterface;

public function action(MailerInterface $mailer, BodyRendererInterface $bodyRenderer)
{
    $email = (new TemplatedEmail())
        ->htmlTemplate($template)
        ->context($context)
    ;
    $bodyRenderer->render($email);

    $mailer->send($email);
}

You can configure which bus is used to dispatch the message using the message_bus option. You can also set this to false to call the Mailer transport directly and disable asynchronous delivery.

.. configuration-block::

    .. code-block:: yaml

        # config/packages/mailer.yaml
        framework:
            mailer:
                message_bus: app.another_bus

    .. code-block:: xml

        <!-- config/packages/messenger.xml -->
        <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
        <container xmlns="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services"
            xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
            xmlns:framework="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/symfony"
            xsi:schemaLocation="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services
                https://symfony.com/schema/dic/services/services-1.0.xsd
                http://symfony.com/schema/dic/symfony
                https://symfony.com/schema/dic/symfony/symfony-1.0.xsd">

            <framework:config>
                <framework:mailer
                    message_bus="app.another_bus"
                >
                </framework:mailer>
            </framework:config>
        </container>

    .. code-block:: php

        // config/packages/mailer.php
        use Symfony\Config\FrameworkConfig;

        return static function (FrameworkConfig $framework) {
            $framework->mailer()
                ->messageBus('app.another_bus');
        };

Note

In cases of long-running scripts, and when Mailer uses the :class:`Symfony\\Component\\Mailer\\Transport\\Smtp\\SmtpTransport` you may manually disconnect from the SMTP server to avoid keeping an open connection to the SMTP server in between sending emails. You can do so by using the stop() method.

.. versionadded:: 6.1

    The :method:`Symfony\\Component\\Mailer\\Transport\\Smtp\\SmtpTransport::stop`
    method was made public in Symfony 6.1.

Adding Tags and Metadata to Emails

Certain 3rd party transports support email tags and metadata, which can be used for grouping, tracking and workflows. You can add those by using the :class:`Symfony\\Component\\Mailer\\Header\\TagHeader` and :class:`Symfony\\Component\\Mailer\\Header\\MetadataHeader` classes. If your transport supports headers, it will convert them to their appropriate format:

use Symfony\Component\Mailer\Header\MetadataHeader;
use Symfony\Component\Mailer\Header\TagHeader;

$email->getHeaders()->add(new TagHeader('password-reset'));
$email->getHeaders()->add(new MetadataHeader('Color', 'blue'));
$email->getHeaders()->add(new MetadataHeader('Client-ID', '12345'));

If your transport does not support tags and metadata, they will be added as custom headers:

X-Tag: password-reset
X-Metadata-Color: blue
X-Metadata-Client-ID: 12345

The following transports currently support tags and metadata:

MailChimp
Mailgun
Postmark
Sendgrid
Sendinblue

The following transports only support tags:

MailPace

The following transports only support metadata:

Amazon SES (note that Amazon refers to this feature as "tags", but Symfony calls it "metadata" because it contains a key and a value)

.. versionadded:: 6.1

    Metadata support for Amazon SES was introduced in Symfony 6.1.

Draft Emails

.. versionadded:: 6.1

    ``Symfony\Component\Mime\DraftEmail`` was introduced in 6.1.

:class:`Symfony\\Component\\Mime\\DraftEmail` is a special instance of :class:`Symfony\\Component\\Mime\\Email`. Its purpose is to build up an email (with body, attachments, etc) and make available to download as an .eml with the X-Unsent header. Many email clients can open these files and interpret them as draft emails. You can use these to create advanced mailto: links.

Here's an example of making one available to download:

// src/Controller/DownloadEmailController.php
namespace App\Controller;

use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\AbstractController;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\ResponseHeaderBag;
use Symfony\Component\Mime\DraftEmail;
use Symfony\Component\Routing\Annotation\Route;

class DownloadEmailController extends AbstractController
{
    #[Route('/download-email')]
    public function __invoke(): Response
    {
        $message = (new DraftEmail())
            ->html($this->renderView(/* ... */))
            ->attach(/* ... */)
        ;

        $response = new Response($message->toString());
        $contentDisposition = $response->headers->makeDisposition(
            ResponseHeaderBag::DISPOSITION_ATTACHMENT,
            'download.eml'
        );
        $response->headers->set('Content-Type', 'message/rfc822');
        $response->headers->set('Content-Disposition', $contentDisposition);

        return $response;
    }
}

Note

As it's possible for :class:`Symfony\\Component\\Mime\\DraftEmail`'s to be created without a To/From they cannot be sent with the mailer.

Mailer Events

MessageEvent

Event Class: :class:`Symfony\\Component\\Mailer\\Event\\MessageEvent`

MessageEvent allows to change the Mailer message and the envelope before the email is sent:

use Symfony\Component\EventDispatcher\EventSubscriberInterface;
use Symfony\Component\Mailer\Event\MessageEvent;
use Symfony\Component\Mime\Email;

public function onMessage(MessageEvent $event): void
{
    $message = $event->getMessage();
    if (!$message instanceof Email) {
        return;
    }
    // do something with the message
}

Tip

When using a MessageEvent listener to :doc:`sign the email contents <signing-and-encrypting-messages>`, run it as late as possible (e.g. setting a negative priority for it) so the email contents are not set or modified after signing them.

Execute this command to find out which listeners are registered for this event and their priorities:

$ php bin/console debug:event-dispatcher "Symfony\Component\Mailer\Event\MessageEvent"

QueuingMessageEvent

Event Class: :class:`Symfony\\Component\\Mailer\\Event\\QueuingMessageEvent`

.. versionadded:: 6.2

    The ``QueuingMessageEvent`` class was introduced in Symfony 6.2.

QueuingMessageEvent allows to add some logic before the email is sent to the Messenger bus (this event is not dispatched when no bus is configured); it extends MessageEvent to allow adding Messenger stamps to the Messenger message sent to the bus:

use Symfony\Component\EventDispatcher\EventSubscriberInterface;
use Symfony\Component\Mailer\Event\QueuingMessageEvent;
use Symfony\Component\Mime\Email;

public function onMessage(QueuingMessageEvent $event): void
{
    $message = $event->getMessage();
    if (!$message instanceof Email) {
        return;
    }
    // do something with the message (logging, ...)

    // and/or add some Messenger stamps
    $event->addStamp(new SomeMessengerStamp());
}

This event lets listeners do something before a message is sent to the queue (like adding stamps or logging) but any changes to the message or the envelope are discarded. To change the message or the envelope, listen to MessageEvent instead.

Execute this command to find out which listeners are registered for this event and their priorities:

$ php bin/console debug:event-dispatcher "Symfony\Component\Mailer\Event\QueuingMessageEvent"

SentMessageEvent

Event Class: :class:`Symfony\\Component\\Mailer\\Event\\SentMessageEvent`

.. versionadded:: 6.2

    The ``SentMessageEvent`` event was introduced in Symfony 6.2.

SentMessageEvent allows you to act on the :class:`Symfony\\Component\\\Mailer\\\SentMessage` class to access the original message (getOriginalMessage()) and some debugging information (getDebug()) such as the HTTP calls made by the HTTP transports, which is useful for debugging errors:

use Symfony\Component\EventDispatcher\EventSubscriberInterface;
use Symfony\Component\Mailer\Event\SentMessageEvent;
use Symfony\Component\Mailer\SentMessage;

public function onMessage(SentMessageEvent $event): void
{
    $message = $event->getMessage();
    if (!$message instanceof SentMessage) {
        return;
    }

    // do something with the message
}

Execute this command to find out which listeners are registered for this event and their priorities:

$ php bin/console debug:event-dispatcher "Symfony\Component\Mailer\Event\SentMessageEvent"

FailedMessageEvent

Event Class: :class:`Symfony\\Component\\Mailer\\Event\\FailedMessageEvent`

.. versionadded:: 6.2

    The ``FailedMessageEvent`` event was introduced in Symfony 6.2.

FailedMessageEvent allows acting on the the initial message in case of a failure:

use Symfony\Component\EventDispatcher\EventSubscriberInterface;
use Symfony\Component\Mailer\Event\FailedMessageEvent;

public function onMessage(FailedMessageEvent $event): void
{
    // e.g you can get more information on this error when sending an email
    $event->getError();

    // do something with the message
}

Execute this command to find out which listeners are registered for this event and their priorities:

$ php bin/console debug:event-dispatcher "Symfony\Component\Mailer\Event\FailedMessageEvent"

Development & Debugging

Sending Test Emails

Symfony provides a command to send emails, which is useful during development to test if sending emails works correctly:

# the only mandatory argument is the recipient address
# (check the command help to learn about its options)
$ php bin/console mailer:test someone@example.com

This command bypasses the :doc:`Messenger bus </messenger>`, if configured, to ease testing emails even when the Messenger consumer is not running.

.. versionadded:: 6.2

    The ``mailer:test`` command was introduced in Symfony 6.2.

Disabling Delivery

While developing (or testing), you may want to disable delivery of messages entirely. You can do this by using null://null as the mailer DSN, either in your :ref:`.env configuration files <configuration-multiple-env-files>` or in the mailer configuration file (e.g. in the dev or test environments):

.. configuration-block::

    .. code-block:: yaml

        # config/packages/dev/mailer.yaml
        framework:
            mailer:
                dsn: 'null://null'

    .. code-block:: xml

        <!-- config/packages/mailer.xml -->
        <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
        <container xmlns="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services"
            xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
            xmlns:framework="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/symfony"
            xsi:schemaLocation="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services
                https://symfony.com/schema/dic/services/services-1.0.xsd
                http://symfony.com/schema/dic/symfony https://symfony.com/schema/dic/symfony/symfony-1.0.xsd">

            <!-- ... -->
            <framework:config>
                <framework:mailer dsn="null://null"/>
            </framework:config>
        </container>

    .. code-block:: php

        // config/packages/mailer.php
        use Symfony\Config\FrameworkConfig;

        return static function (FrameworkConfig $framework) {
            // ...
            $framework->mailer()
                ->dsn('null://null');
        };

Note

If you're using Messenger and routing to a transport, the message will still be sent to that transport.

Always Send to the same Address

Instead of disabling delivery entirely, you might want to always send emails to a specific address, instead of the real address:

.. configuration-block::

    .. code-block:: yaml

        # config/packages/dev/mailer.yaml
        framework:
            mailer:
                envelope:
                    recipients: ['youremail@example.com']

    .. code-block:: xml

        <!-- config/packages/mailer.xml -->
        <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
        <container xmlns="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services"
            xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
            xmlns:framework="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/symfony"
            xsi:schemaLocation="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services
                https://symfony.com/schema/dic/services/services-1.0.xsd
                http://symfony.com/schema/dic/symfony https://symfony.com/schema/dic/symfony/symfony-1.0.xsd">

            <!-- ... -->
            <framework:config>
                <framework:mailer>
                    <framework:envelope>
                        <framework:recipient>youremail@example.com</framework:recipient>
                    </framework:envelope>
                </framework:mailer>
            </framework:config>
        </container>

    .. code-block:: php

        // config/packages/mailer.php
        use Symfony\Config\FrameworkConfig;

        return static function (FrameworkConfig $framework) {
            // ...
            $framework->mailer()
                ->envelope()
                    ->recipients(['youremail@example.com'])
            ;
        };

Write a Functional Test

To functionally test that an email was sent, and even assert the email content or headers, you can use the built in assertions:

// tests/Controller/MailControllerTest.php
namespace App\Tests\Controller;

use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Test\MailerAssertionsTrait;
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Test\WebTestCase;

class MailControllerTest extends WebTestCase
{
    use MailerAssertionsTrait;

    public function testMailIsSentAndContentIsOk()
    {
        $client = $this->createClient();
        $client->request('GET', '/mail/send');
        $this->assertResponseIsSuccessful();

        $this->assertEmailCount(1);

        $email = $this->getMailerMessage();

        $this->assertEmailHtmlBodyContains($email, 'Welcome');
        $this->assertEmailTextBodyContains($email, 'Welcome');
    }
}

DSN protocol	Example	Description
smtp	`smtp://user:[email protected]:25`	Mailer uses an SMTP server to send emails
sendmail	`sendmail://default`	Mailer uses the local sendmail binary to send emails
native	`native://default`	Mailer uses the sendmail binary and options configured in the `sendmail_path` setting of `php.ini`. On Windows hosts, Mailer fallbacks to `smtp` and `smtp_port` `php.ini` settings when `sendmail_path` is not configured.
