 PHPMailer 6.5 is released a few minutes ago, and contains fixes for an RCE
 vulnerability discovered in earlier versions. I will submit the changes to
 a patch, but I think the tests should fail because this release changes
 the validator, which, IIRC, WordPress overrides.

  - Changes: https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/compare/v6.4.1...v6.5.0
