 Thanks @ayeshrajans!

 [attachment:"41750.6.diff"] is an updated patch that includes
 [https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/releases/tag/v6.1.6 PHPMailer
 6.1.6], which was a security update.

 I think this is in a really good spot. I plan on committing this at some
 point this week (hopefully with another review from an additional seasoned
 contributor), and drafting a call for testing for Make Core/Make Plugins.

 @ayeshrajans Let's open new tickets for all of the "using PHPMailer wrong"
 type issues that are found.
