Php Swift Mailer

4 Jun 2007


I’ve recently been using Php Swift Mailer and will now be using it for all my php applications which require email.

The initial impetus was I needed to send mail via a SMTP server which required authentication, and I also wanted to setup and post multipart (text + html) messages and messages with attachments. Swift Mail does both of these very nicely.

It also checks for mail injection attacks, which php mailer doesn’t, so I’ve ditched my own message checking code in its favour. This matters, because I’ve been noticing a LOT of mail injection attacks / site hacking attempts on one of my php sites recently.
