The class smtp will be replaced with ezcMailSmtpTransport from eZ Components. The class eZMail will be deprecated in favour of ezcMail from eZ Components.

To avoid breaking BC, the class eZMail will be rewritten to store its data in an ezcMail object. Existing code relying on eZMail will not be affected, but it is expected that ezcMail will replace eZMail completely in a future release of eZ Publish.
