Fallback

Laravel native mail fallback handles normal Mail::send() transports.

MailBridge fallback handles direct SDK/template/marketing operations:

php

'fallbacks' => [
    'transactional' => ['brevo', 'postmark', 'resend'],
    'marketing' => ['mailerlite', 'brevo'],
],

Only transient provider/network failures retry.

When a specific provider is selected, fallback is off by default:

php

MailBridge::transactional('postmark')->withFallback(false);

Enable fallback for that send:

php

MailBridge::transactional('postmark')->withFallback();

MailBridge tries the selected provider first. If that provider also exists in configured fallbacks, duplicates are removed and the next fallback provider is tried next.
