Probably caused by the same issue, but might help you solving it. * Hope you’ll find it soon. * Ps. Also memory usage seems a lot higher under PHP7 then under PHP5. But not sure if this is a MailPoet issue yet, still investagating this myself. * Regards, Niels * [Wysija](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wysija/) * (@wysija) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mailpoet-with-php-7-error/#post-6676825) * We are working to fix this PHP7 compatibility issues in the next version.

Probably they do have the fix in the premium version but it’s a bit crap having a broken free version out for so long. * I mean I’ve sent newsletters and not had any errors logged to debug.log so I’m sure it’s completely fixed with my fix. * [Bernhard Gronau](https://wordpress.org/support/users/quasel/) * (@quasel) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mailpoet-with-php-7-error/#post-6676844) * Yep fixes it – just one step left – find a way to use my sparate SMPT server with encyption as php 5.6 and above only accept proper certificates (semesn ot even self signed work 😉 ) ^^ guess time for let’s encrypt 😛 * [Dave Hilditch](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dhilditch/) * (@dhilditch) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mailpoet-with-php-7-error/page/2/#post-6676845) * You can always use something like Mailgun, Mandrill, Amazon SES or something similar – Mailgun gives you 12,000 free email sends. Amazon SES is really cheap.
