Swift Mailer
------------

[](#swift-mailer)

**The original Swiftmailer stopped being maintained at the end of November 2021.**

Please, move to [Symfony Mailer](https://symfony.com/doc/current/mailer.html) at your earliest convenience. [Symfony Mailer](https://symfony.com/doc/current/mailer.html) is the next evolution of Swiftmailer. It provides the same features with support for modern PHP code and support for third-party providers.

Swift Mailer is a component based mailing solution for PHP. It is released under the MIT license.

Swift Mailer is highly object-oriented by design and lends itself to use in complex web application with a great deal of flexibility.

For full details on usage, read the [documentation](https://swiftmailer.symfony.com/docs/introduction.html).
