E-Mails Sent From PHPMailer. Why?

dgilmour,

We are using that plugin; see ” This is a problem for us, since we use the SMTP plugin wp-mail-smtp.”

But that plugin only catches requests to wp_mail(), but since randomly some e-mails are being sent via PHPMailer, they aren’t feed through.

Any idea why they decided to use PHPMailer instead of their own wp_mail(), was this just laziness or old code?
