Hi friend, you dont have to follow everything the course, redis is optional.
But anyway, send me a screenshot or so to check.

For the smtp, I dont have a video on it.
If you bought the course just for that, please let me know to refund. No worries :)

And yeah, I bought the course for just the smtp :(, the article is not enough, I need videos

@sultanalkhuzaei7 i can help you with smtp, you just need to get your details from the hosting provider email settings and add it to your environment variable or .env files.
see example below i used in a recent project
MAIL_MAILER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=mail.enmail.co
MAIL_PORT=465
MAIL_USERNAME=hello@*****
MAIL_PASSWORD=*****
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=ssl
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=hello@***
MAIL_FROM_NAME=${APP_NAME}


OR JUST USE YOUR RESEND API
