Check mail is sent successfully or not on Laravel 5

Question

I have a function that can send mail on Laravel5 using this

/**  *  Send Mail from Parts Specification Form  */  public function sendMail(Request $request) {     $data = $request->all();      $messageBody = $this->getMessageBody($data);      Mail::raw($messageBody, function ($message) {         $message->from('[email protected]', 'Learning Laravel');         $message->to('[email protected]');         $message->subject('Learning Laravel test email');     });      return redirect()->back();  }   /**   * Return message body from Parts Specification Form   * @param object $data   * @return string   */  private function getMessageBody($data) {      $messageBody = 'dummy dummy dummy dummy';  } 

and is sent successfully. But how to check if it was sent or not? Like

if (Mail::sent == 'error') {  echo 'Mail not sent'; } else {  echo 'Mail sent successfully.'; } 

I'm just guessing that code.

I'm not entirely sure this would work but you can give it a shot

/**  *  Send Mail from Parts Specification Form  */ public function sendMail(Request $request) {     $data = $request->all();      $messageBody = $this->getMessageBody($data);      Mail::raw($messageBody, function ($message) {         $message->from('[email protected]', 'Learning Laravel');         $message->to('[email protected]');         $message->subject('Learning Laravel test email');     });      // check for failures     if (Mail::failures()) {         // return response showing failed emails     }      // otherwise everything is okay ...     return redirect()->back(); }
