Why does Laravel mail fail silently when using 'log' driver?
You set MAIL_MAILER=log in your .env but emails are not appearing in logs. What is the likely cause?
AThe .env file must have MAIL_DRIVER instead of MAIL_MAILER for logging.
BThe 'log' mailer requires a database connection to store emails.
CThe log channel is not configured or set to a level that ignores mail logs.
DLaravel disables logging mail when APP_DEBUG is false.
