Forge Deployment

1. Add this to your recipes, you can name it Install Mailparse. Make sure the user is root.

apt-get update
apt-get install -y php-cli php-mailparse

2. If you already have an existing server, run this recipe on that server. Otherwise, create a new server and make sure to select this recipe as a Post-Provision Recipe. You'll have to show Advance Settings to select this.

3. Once you have the server ready, open up Port 25, add your site, and deploy your Laravel app.

4. SSH into your Forge server and go to your site directory. Then run the setup command as a super user:

sudo php artisan notifiable:setup-postfix domain-that-receives-email.com

5. Add the following DNS records to your domain:

   Type	Host	Value
   A	your-application-domain.com	your.forge.ip.address

   Type	Host	Value	Priority
   MX	domain-that-receives-email.com	your-application-domain.com	10
