PHPMailer

Adds SMTP support for sending e-mails using the PHPMailer library. Comes with detailed configuration instructions for how to use Google Mail as mail server.

The main differences to the SMTP Authentication Support module are:

• This module uses the PHPMailer library itself, and the SMTP Authentication Support module has forked and includes the smtp and mail classes from PHPMailer library.
• This module has support for improved bulk-mail performance through SMTP keep-alive connections (if supported by the mail server).
• This module has a built-in e-mail rerouting option (useful during site building and development).

Requirements

• PHPMailer library, version 5.2.21+ NOTE: Due to both CVE-2016-10033 and CVE-2016-10045, you are strongly recommended to update your PHPMailer library to at least version 5.2.21. Details for these vulnerabilities can be found at these links:
