I have a function that can send mail on Laravel5 using this

```
/**
 *  Send Mail from Parts Specification Form
 */
 public function sendMail(Request $request) {
    $data = $request->all();

    $messageBody = $this->getMessageBody($data);

    Mail::raw($messageBody, function ($message) {
        $message->from('yourEmail@domain.com', 'Learning Laravel');
        $message->to('goper.zosa@gmail.com');
        $message->subject('Learning Laravel test email');
    });

    return redirect()->back();
 }

 /**
  * Return message body from Parts Specification Form
  * @param object $data
  * @return string
  */
 private function getMessageBody($data) {

    $messageBody = 'dummy dummy dummy dummy';
 }

```

and is sent successfully. But how to check if it was sent or not? Like

```
if (Mail::sent == 'error') {
 echo 'Mail not sent';
} else {
 echo 'Mail sent successfully.';
}

```

I'm just guessing that code.
