Hi, While working on implementing VERP for Mediawiki[1], Nemo pointed to me, Tyler' recommendation[2] on shifting from PHP mailer to Swift Mailer[3]. Quoting Tyler's words : "PHPMailer has everything packed into a few classes, whereas Swift_Mailer actually has a separation of concerns, with classes for attachments, transport types, etc. A result of this is that PHPMailer has two different functions for embedding multimedia: addEmbeddedImage() for files and addStringEmbeddedImage() for strings. Another example is that PHPMailer supports only two bodies for multipart messages, whereas Swift_Mailer will add in as many bodies as you tell it to since a body is wrapped in its own object. In addition, PHPMailer only really supports SMTP, whereas Swift_Mailer has an extensible transport architecture, and multiple transport providers. (And there's also plugins, and monolog integration, etc". My mentors too think about it to be a nice idea, and Nemo recommended adding it to my GSoC project deliverable here ( https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VERP#Deliverables ). But, we need more community-consensus on the same as this needs to be done first, and VERP as a plugin to it, if Swift mailer needs to be done. I have opened a BZ ticket for the same ( https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63483 ). Please comment to this thread or in the BZ regarding the shift as it needs to be done for a start. The discussions we had on this till date is here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:VERP#Swift_Mailer_and_VERP__40928.
