Phpmailer or third party email service?
We are developing a site, you need to deliver various notifications to users by mail + send letters to confirm registration.
What is better to use? Should I install via composer phpmailer or just use a third party API? There are many services that can take on this task.

Answer 1

The man in the next answer is off topic.
Although, of course, the question itself is stupid.
Phpmailer is not a mail server . It's just a mail() overgrowth. Delivery of letters is not known. And "delivering through the composer" will not solve the problem of delivering letters - a server will still be needed.
That is, the choice is not between "phpmaier" vs transactional email service, but "my gmail account" vs mailgun.
And here we already have to think about what outgoing email we want to use, how gmail will manage with our volumes, how to deal with getting into spam tags, etc. And a normal "third-party API" (whatever this expression means) will be much more preferable

Answer 2

phpmailer is more reliable.
