Hello Andre, I was indeed in search of more input whether it's a good idea or bad one. Nemo tells me it will be a nice move to shift from the conventional usermailer [1]. Since its an additional task in my proposal, I am ready to take up the shifting job, as it needs to be done first, should it be done. If anyone would like to take up the job, I would be happy to pair with them too. Some discussions:- [1] : https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Requests_for_comment/Third-party_compone... [2] : https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:VERP#Swift_Mailer_and_VERP__40928
Thanks, Tony Thomas http://tttwrites.in FOSS@Amrita http://foss.amrita.ac.in

Hi Tony,
could you clarify your intention for this email? Are you seeking for more input whether it's a good idea, or if this actually needed? Or are you searching for agreement as you plan to work on a patch yourself? Or are you looking for somebody to work on this?
It's not entirely clear to me from your email.
Thanks, andre

Hi, Looks like there isn't any more reply about this proposal on shifting from UserMailer to Swift-Mailer. Since, we have already started with implementing VERP, it's high time this enhancement needs to be applied, if it needs to be. If Swift-Mailer is to be done, VERP needs to
be
implemented as a plugin to it, or else as an additional script in the UserMailer code.

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 Nemorecommended 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:
