Unfortunately, my host disabled the mail() function on my server and this killed eForm. Fortunately for those having problems with the phpmailer class that eForm uses, I went ahead and converted eForm over to SwiftMailer. I have included my modification in case someone else wants to use this.
WARNING: This has not been tested outside basic functionality (i.e., attachments have not been tested, but should work.)
To install, overwrite assets/snippets/eform/eform.inc.php with the one that is included (I would backup your current eform.inc.php just in case this one does not work for you).
Then upload the lib file to manager/includes/controls/ and make sure to leave it named "lib"

Excellent! I’ve worked with the Swift library before, and like it very much.
I rely on Swift Mailer in a few of my web projects but I haven’t integrated it with a MODx project yet. Did you use the PHP4 of PHP5 version of Swift in this case? I couldn’t tell on an initial scan through the zip file. Thank you for sharing!
I used the PHP4 version. It should be rather trivial to convert it to the PHP5 version. I might offer both versions when I get the time.

Thanks again for taking the time to put this together. It is in service on my latest MODx project which uses php4. I plan to take a closer look at how you coded this when I get more time. Swift Mailer supports the gophp5 initiative so I’ll be on php5 by 2/5/2008.
When Magento gets released I will likely upgrade to PHP5, and use that exclusively. So I will likely have this converted by that time frame.
Let me know if you run into any troubles and I can try to fix it, or if you are comfortable with Swift, feel free to submit the fixes here
I already believe I can make it a little more efficient with a few code changes.

Using Swiftmailer I get this error
Main mail: Mailer was unable to send mail
PHP 5.2.5.
What can be the problem
The version I included was for PHP4. You will need to download the PHP5 package, and upload it in place of the files I said to upload...and maybe make some small changes to the code I edited if the upload alone doesn’t do the trick. You might want to check this thread:
