Hello,

i am trying to send e-mails with attachments using Mail::send(...) and Mandrill. In the October CMS documentation I couldn't find how to attach files, but I tried to do as it is in Laravel documentation: http://laravel.com/docs/5.1/mail#attachments My code:

        Mail::send('mandrill.default',[], function($message) use ($receiver_emails,$send_data,$mandrill_template_name,$attached_file_paths)
        {
            $headers = $message->getHeaders();
            foreach($send_data as $key=>$value)
            {
            // each X-MC-MergeVars can be up to 1000 characters
            $headers->addTextHeader('X-MC-MergeVars', json_encode([$key=>$value]));
            }
            $headers->addTextHeader('X-MC-Template', $mandrill_template_name);

            foreach($attached_file_paths as $file)
            {
            $message->attach("http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$file);    
            }
            $message->to($receiver_emails);
        });

Currently e-mail is sent without attachments. I am trying to add two files which are together around 1.5 MB. If i remove adding headers (I am setting headers as well, because i need to send Mandrill template), attachments are received as text. I tried to attach image(.jpg) and .pdf, but not in the same send - same result.

Does anyone know what might be the issue?

I think you need to use local file pathes and not URLs as parameter to the attach function.
