Does anyone have recommendations for a good (and lightweight!) PHP mailer library?

Pretty much as the title says.

I'm currently using the SwiftMailer (http://swiftmailer.org), but I'm just wondering how it stacks up to the other libraries out there.

For everyone using PHPMailer, there is an exploit which makes it possible to read any file on the server. Check sourceforge documentation for PHPMailer to see more information.

Another vote for PHPMailer here, been using it for years and haven't any problems.

Funnily enough I was looking at trying out SwiftMailer a few months back but saw some concerns about performance of the latest version on the forums which kind of put me off...

Not sure about libraries like PHPMailer, Swiftmailer, HTMLMimeMail (I've used this one for a couple of projects in the past ; never had any problem with it) or the like, but I think, for a project of my own, I'd have a look at Zend_Mail

Why ? I see at least two reasons :

  • Zend Framework's components are well written, well tested
  • There are maintenance releases of the Framework quite often (about once a month), which is good to know ; the project is alive
  • It might be the occasion to begin using other components as well ;-)

And for a couple of drawbacks :

  • You might have to extract that component (and the components it rely on) from the Framework if you don't want to include it as a whole :-(
  • Officialy, you'll need PHP >= 5.2.4 (not sure about the .4) ; some components work with PHP 5.1.x, but it's not officialy supported
