• File Attachments
• Handling Undeliverable Emails

The Swift Mailer module, when installed and configured, overrides the default PHP mail() usage and sends all Form Tools emails via the SMTP settings you supply.

Advantages over default mail() function

• Some servers don't have mail() configured.
• The PHP mail() function is notoriously inconsistent on different servers. Often, simple things like sending emails in multipart format (text + html) cannot be done.
• Allow you to include file attachments in your email - either from files included in the form submission or from a file on your server.
• Option to specify return-path headers for each email template, which sends all non-deliverable emails back to your inbox.
• It's far faster!
