You can also specify encryption type, for example: (e.g. "tls://smtp1.example.com:587;ssl://smtp2.example.com:465"). Hosts will be tried in order.
$Hostname string If empty, PHPMailer attempts to find one with, in order, $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'], gethostname(), php_uname('n'), or the value 'localhost.localdomain'.

Alternatively you may pass in a callable to inject your own validator, for example: PHPMailer::validateAddress('[email protected]', function($address) { return (strpos($address, '@') !== false); }); You can also set the PHPMailer::$validator static to a callable, allowing built-in methods to use your validator.
return boolean
