Autoloader: /usr/share/php/PHPMailer/PHPMailer6/autoload.php

**Version 6.5.0** (June 16th, 2021) * **SECURITY** Fixes **CVE-2021-34551**, a

complex RCE affecting Windows hosts. See SECURITY.md for details. * The fix for

this issue changes the way that language files are loaded. While they remain in

the same PHP-like format, they are processed as plain text, and any code in them

will not be run, including operations such as concatenation using the `.`

operator. * *Deprecation* The current translation file format using PHP arrays

is now deprecated; the next major version will introduce a new format. *

**SECURITY** Fixes **CVE-2021-3603** that may permit untrusted code to be run

from an address validator. See SECURITY.md for details. * The fix for this issue

includes a minor BC break: callables injected into `validateAddress`, or

indirectly through the `$validator` class property, may no longer be simple

strings. If you want to inject your own validator, provide a closure instead of

a function name. * Haraka message ID strings are now recognised

* Thu Jun 17 2021 Remi Collet - 6.5.0-1

- update to 6.5.0
