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 module are:

• Integration with Mime Mail module
• Improved performance through SMTP connection keep-alive
  (if supported by the mail server)
• Built-in e-mail rerouting option (useful while developing).

Dependencies

• PHPMailer library for PHP5/6 (last tested version was 5.0.2)
• (3.x only) Libraries API

Optional:

• Mime Mail to send HTML e-mails
• Personalized E-mails to adjust the sender name displayed in e-mail clients.

Notes

PHPMailer module versions 2.x and 3.x are both maintained and feature-wise identical, the only difference for 3.x is a dependency on Libraries API. Installation differs based on selected version:

for 6.x.-3.x: Read documentation · Read complete log of changes
for 6.x.-2.x: Read documentation · Read complete log of changes

Unless Library API provides a stable release, the 2.x versions will stay the recommended releases.

** When updating from 2.1 to 2.2 or upgrading to 3.0, you will need to clear your caches (run update.php) to avoid errors. **
