So if Symfony Mailer isn't for marketing emails...what Symfony component would you use to build, say, an app that lets users write and send out marketing emails to their mailing lists?
Why is Symfony Mailer not suited for this purpose? According to the docs, it supports an incredible range of transports designed for bulk email.
Mautic for example seems to have built its EmailBundle around Symfony Mailer. Did you perhaps mean you should use a third-party transport with Symfony Mailer for bulk email, and that you'll need to build out features necessary for marketing emails like unsubscribe options yourself? It seems like Symfony Mailer would be a great base to start with for this purpose, unless I'm missing something.
Hey @jno,
Great question! I've wondered that also - here's some context on why
symfony/mailerisn't intended for bulk/marketing emails.Basically, it comes down to: it's very hard to abstract the different providers bulk email API's (email lists/unsubscribes/templates/etc).
I'd drop down and use a specific providers PHP package or use their API directly.
Hope that helps!

Thanks for the quick response! That was an enlightening Github issue. I haven't worked much with any SMTP provider before, so there's plenty I don't know.
I noticed that Mautic linked this issue at the bottom: https://github.com/mautic/mautic/issues/12096
They ended up using Symfony Mailer as a base and building out more of the features they needed for their software, which is built on sending marketing emails. But it definitely looks like they did a lot of work to get what they wanted.
Something to revisit in the future...
