Always returning false, even in testing

[dustingtaylor]

Hi there, using this with Laravel 5.4 and it's always returning false, and when testing it through php artisan command, I always get, "The email address is not valid or we couldn't contact the server" error.

Same here. Always return false, even for a valid email. I'm using Laravel 5.1.

Same here, its not working.

The problem is, SMTP blocked the port to avoid spamming when sending acknowledge. so, the result of testing is always invalid.

I get the same message when testing using the artisan command except for gmail. Will this also return false when running in the app's code? I haven't been able to test yet (getting the class not found error/exception and composer dump-autoload doesn't work). I' using the latest version of Laravel (5.5).
