Hi,
We have prepared the PS on shifting from PEAR to SwiftMailer.
Please go through and review the PS here (
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/135290/ ). As the commit message says -
there are some compatibility issues like :-
* Couldn't find an alternative for the 'IDHost' in SwiftMailer SMTP
parameters
* Safemode check when $wgSMTP is unset is removed. Dont think that is
necessary when using SwiftMailer
* $wgAdditionalMailParams is not sent to SwiftMailer when $wgSMTP is unset,
which doesn't sound needed according to
http://swiftmailer.org/docs/sending.html#the-mail-transport
Anyway, I could test the code successfully with Gmail SMTP settings and no
SMTP settings.
Thanks,
Tony Thomas <http://tttwrites.in>
