Mail::queue() and Mail::later() don't use currently set SMTP config

[fisle]

I set SMTP server on-the-fly with:

$config = array(
    'driver' => 'smtp',
    'host' => 'smtp.host.com',
    'port' => 587,
    'from' => array('address' => '[email protected]', 'name' => 'name'),
    'encryption' => 'tls',
    'username' => 'my_username',
    'password' => 'my_pass',
    'sendmail' => '/usr/sbin/sendmail -bs',
    'pretend' => false
);
Config::set('mail', $config);

Now when I send mail with Mail::send(), it works just fine and uses the server I set.
But when using Mail::queue() or Mail::later(), it instead tries to use the default SMTP settings from app/config/mail.php.

Is there a workaround this? I took a look in src/Illuminate/Mail/Message.php but there was no function to attach SMTP info into the Mail::queue() call which would have worked in this situation.

Don't set config on demand is the sollution. Otherwise, your solution would be to create a custom mailer instance, serialize it, and send it with your own custom queue job, or probably, more reliably, pass the config with your own custom queue job, then create a mailer at the other end from the config.

The config won't persist past the current request. Alternatively use Queue::push and use a custom job that calls Mail::send and set the config in THAT job.
