Problem/Motivation

Drupal 10.2.x added symfony/mailer as a dependency and updated its mail system to support its use. Should this module still be needed?

Steps to reproduce

Proposed resolution

Identify what this module does that core cannot do (if anything), decide if the module still needs to exist for sites using 10.2.x. Update the project page with this information.

Remaining tasks

User interface changes

API changes

Data model changes

The added mailer plugin is a minimal implementation and experimental.

The core issue you commented on is part of #1803948: [META] Adopt the symfony mailer component which will completely revamp the mail API and *that* will then essentially make all existing mail plugin modules dead code. But there will still be a need to provide a UI for the mailer capabilities of core, which this project could provide, or https://www.drupal.org/project/symfony_mailer_lite or https://www.drupal.org/project/symfony_mailer, remains to be seen.

Right now, I wouldn't worry too much about that if you use smtp and it works for you.

Like Berdir said -- likely we will just adopt the core functionality and put a UI on top of it.. which should make this code much cleaner. SMTP can provide an upgrade path for those using the existing system.
