 * Hello,
 * when i install this plugin then the phpmailer_init hook doesn’t work anymore.
   Is there a solution?
 * Line 763 in main.php of the plugin is commented when i uncomment it then it works.
   So why is it commented? Can you change it maybe?

 * Hi, The plugin is already overriding the core wp_mail function for SMTP purpose.
   So it doesn’t make sense to let another plugin override its mail functionality
   with the `phpmailer_init` hook. What are you trying to do with that hook?
