 * Hey. On my test site running WP 5.7 and PHP 8, I get this error when attempting
   to activate the plugin:
 * `Deprecated: Method ReflectionParameter::getClass() is deprecated in /home/oldrupdk/
   oldrup.net/wp-content/plugins/fluent-smtp/includes/Core/Container.php on line
   819`
 * Are you able to reproduce this?
 * Kind regards
    Bjarne
