Changes (by zodiac1978):

 * severity:  normal => critical


Comment:

 Got a new install where the hoster is deactivating PHPMailer, this time it
 is WordPress 5.6.7 (which is the latest version at the moment) and the
 same unfixed problem.

 Therefore changing the severity to critical. These are completely patched
 WPs which are sending spam.
