php-swiftmailerHow to check if an email was sent using Swiftmailer?

Swiftmailer provides a way to check if an email was sent using its send() method. The send() method returns a Swift_Message object which contains a getId() method that can be used to check if the email was sent.

Example code

$message = Swift_Message::newInstance()
    ->setSubject('Test Email')
    ->setFrom('[email protected]')
    ->setTo('[email protected]')
    ->setBody('This is a test email.');

$sent = $mailer->send($message);

if ($sent) {
    echo $message->getId();
}

Output example

<[email protected]>
