Comment:

 > that being said, I wanted to know if we can get something added to 6.9.1
 to reliably detect this fault situation and resolve it while we wait for
 the long-tail of updates to any upstream fixes which might get merged.

 I had the same thought, but looking through the
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/64368#comment:18 linked upstream
 issues], I think the solution is going to be an update to phpmailer which
 will be added to core. I'm removing the close keyword since the commit
 that updates phpmailer be that can be used to close this ticket as
 @desrosj noted.
