Swift Mailer SMTP Mailer for PHP alternative

Question

I'm trying to find a replacement for Swift Mailer as my website is on Dreamhost. They do not allow fsockopen() which apparently Swift Mailer uses.

Does anyone know of a good alternative, or can point me in the direction of something to use or do?

PHPMailer is a PHP email transport class featuring file attachments, SMTP servers, CCs, BCCs, HTML messages, word wrap, and more. Sends email via sendmail, PHP mail(), QMail, or directly with SMTP. Support for additional transports, such as SMS, MMS will be forthcoming http://code.google.com/a/apache-extras.org/p/phpmailer/

Zend_Mail is a good library in zend but you would need root access most likely since Zend Framework and shared hosts don't mix to well.

To continue using Swift Mailer you may want to consider moving to Amazon ec2 or another cloud server company like RackSpace where you can have root access on your own server and not be limited, especially when your building custom applications.
