PHPmailer is now part of the Tidelift Subscription

Written by Brenna Heaps | April 29, 2021

PHPmailer is a popular library used for sending email via PHP. It’s used in WordPress, Drupal, 1CRM, SugarCRM, Yii, Joomla!, and tons more important PHP content management systems. 

PHPmailer has been installed over 21 million times, according to Packagist. Over one thousand PHP projects depend on PHPmailer. It’s a vital dependency in many PHP stacks.

We are excited to announce that Marcus Bointon is providing assurances for PHPmailer, as part of the Tidelift Subscription. This means PHPmailer is now part of several Tidelift-managed catalogs, including the License-annotated Packagist catalog. What exactly is a Tidelift-managed catalog, you wonder? It is a collection of known-good open source packages and package versions vetted and proactively maintained by Tidelift and our open source maintainer partners. 

If you’re interested in learning more about how Tidelift catalogs work, check out this short, 5-minute demo.
