   Example migrated from Codex:

   This is an example of establishing an SMTP connection using the `phpmailer_init` action:

   function my_phpmailer_example( $phpmailer ) {
       $phpmailer->isSMTP();     
       $phpmailer->Host = 'smtp.example.com';
       $phpmailer->SMTPAuth = true; // Ask it to use authenticate using the Username and Password properties
       $phpmailer->Port = 25;
       $phpmailer->Username = 'yourusername';
       $phpmailer->Password = 'yourpassword';
   
       // Additional settings…
       //$phpmailer->SMTPSecure = 'tls'; // Choose 'ssl' for SMTPS on port 465, or 'tls' for SMTP+STARTTLS on port 25 or 587
       //$phpmailer->From = "you@yourdomail.com";
       //$phpmailer->FromName = "Your Name";
   }
   add_action( 'phpmailer_init', 'my_phpmailer_example' );

   If you call $phpmailer->setFrom(), it’s often important to explicitly set the third parameter to false, to tell PHPMailer to not override the Sender header. The parameter defaults to true, and using that can cause messages to be rejected.

   See #37736 for details.
