Bounce Mail Handler
===================

[](#bounce-mail-handler)

This fork is a reboot of WorxWare's PHPMailer-BMH. [\[1\]](#id3)

Distinguishing features of this fork:

- *master* branch where class names and file organization follows PSR-0 conventions for php 5.3+ namespaces
- coding style follows Symfony2 coding standard
- a test suite and corpus of email messages
- auto-generate API documentation via phpDocumentor 2.x [\[2\]](#id4)

The *legacy* branch retains backward compatibility but includes a wrapper for PEAR/ZF1 naming convention. However, bug fixes and enhancements from the master branch may not be backported.
