This could be as easy as putting phpmailer back into the project via composer and using it. I had it in at one point and then ripped it out when I got rid of the bulk mailing admin pages.

Mail() is no longer being used but I'm having a hard time finding an SMTP relay to test with in labs that will allow full verification.
