I can only assume that things are not well with the developer, wish him well and keep my fingers crossed selfishly that it pans out OK soon

Exactly the same here!
Swiftmailer is promising to revolutionise our email newsletters. Been using it stand-alone for ages and have only recently got round to the task of converting our bulk newsletter script from phpMailer. We would definitely go for an enterprise version (depending on pricing)

Just to let everyone know, although a supporter of Swiftmail, the lack of support recently has led me to look for other solutions due to some urgent demands.

I have come across a mail class called Nomad. Quite simply it works, where Swiftmail and PHPMailer fail, this works. I can send different languages in utf-8 including embedded images, have Russian text in From and Subject fields and it works!

I hope Chris the Developer of Swiftmail comes back online soon, but in the meantime give Nomad a try!

I'm in the same boat: i need to move forward with projects, so it's with great regret that i have to look for alternatives. However, there are in fact good alternatives available. these are my two front runners:
http://www.phpguru.org/static/htmlMimeMail5.html
http://www.xpertmailer.com

i hope everything is alright with Chris, doesn't seem like him to disappear for this long without a word, must be something serious. :(

Hi guys, I'll start working my way through the mound of threads in here shortly. Sorry I've been absent for so long, I've been very busy with work and have generally not had a great deal of motivation to work on projects in my spare time (which isn't a lot these days). I haven't been around to do any moderatorial work or anything for quite a while now either.

Watch this space.

Just a quick note to mention that I'm currently seeking a small but elite team of developers to help with this project so that in my absence things don't grind to a halt. I'm seeking 2 or 3 PHP5 ninjas who don't strictly know anything about SMTP, but are capable of reading RFCs and conforming to them in a very strict manner, putting them into test code and then implementing code to make these tests pass (and meet the RFC requirements).

I have approached a few devs who I'd really like on board but if the uptake isn't there I'll be looking at a wider audience.

For those desperately awaiting v4, you can follow the activity here.

http://github.com/swiftmailer/swiftmailer

AND

http://swiftmailer.lighthouseapp.com/pr ... ift-mailer

Ignore the 17% complete thing, it's a new account so the %age doesn't make much sense.
