Problem with Swift Mailer #96

Closed PetrToman closed 5 years ago

PetrToman commented 5 years ago

Hello, on many hostings, there is a problem with Swift Mailer - it calls proc_* functions which are disallowed and also, it does not support using PHP mail() function any longer.

I suggest switching to https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer.

I evaluated PHPMailer and SwiftMailer when choosing an email library. SwiftMailer won hands down. It's much better written, it's part of the Symfony ecosystem (and we use lots of Symfony libraries already), has a better license, and other reasons I forget!

Good case in point. I just implemented mail queue support as that's something Swiftmailer can do, and with the scheduler in Grav 1.6, it makes a great solution. PHPMailer, not so much!
