SMTP in core

Well, I'm not so diving to much in Drupal core, but I'd like to suggest that we work on a solution for SMTP in core.

#331180: fix pluggable smtp/mail framework → suggests we have changes on the mail system, so I will still go through the code to get to know it.

The reasons for this are that we have some real need for this support. As Dries himself pointed once, if you take a look at the usage statistics of http://drupal.org/project/smtp you'll see what I mean. Lot's of people depend on it.

I'm not necessarily suggesting that SMTP module gets in the core, specially because it relies on an external library, but perhaps we can implement if not all but most of the functionality it does (or what it's similar projects do).

Thougths?

Needs framework manager review
It is used to alert the framework manager core committer(s) that an issue significantly impacts (or has the potential to impact) multiple subsystems or represents a significant change or addition in architecture or public APIs, and their signoff is needed (see the governance policy draft for more information). If an issue significantly impacts only one subsystem, use Needs subsystem maintainer review instead, and make sure the issue component is set to the correct subsystem.

The ideas project is deprecated, moving this back to core.

As mentioned back in 2017 when it was still swiftmailer, core is slowly moving towards including symfony mailer, which supports smtp and many other things. symfony/mailer has in fact been in core for a while and technically it's possible to send SMTP mails with just core now, but there's no UI yet to configure this yet. See https://www.drupal.org/node/3369935 → .

So, closing as a duplicate of that issue.
