## Description

SwiftMailer is an object-oriented PHP email delivery library used to compose and send email messages within applications. It represents emails as structured objects to manage headers, bodies, and attachments before they are serialized for transmission.

The library utilizes a transport-based routing system to decouple message composition from delivery. This allows emails to be routed through different mechanisms, including authenticated SMTP connections to remote mail servers or local server binaries via Sendmail integration.
