What are best practices for transferring PHPMailer to a new server to ensure smooth email sending functionality?

When transferring PHPMailer to a new server, it's important to ensure that all necessary files and configurations are properly migrated to maintain smooth email sending functionality. This includes transferring the PHPMailer library files, updating any server-specific settings such as SMTP credentials, and testing the email sending functionality to verify that everything is working correctly. 

// Example code snippet for transferring PHPMailer to a new server

require 'path/to/PHPMailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php';

$mail = new PHPMailer;

$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->Host = 'smtp.example.com';
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = 'your@example.com';
$mail->Password = 'yourpassword';
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
$mail->Port = 587;

$mail->setFrom('from@example.com', 'Your Name');
$mail->addAddress('recipient@example.com', 'Recipient Name');
$mail->isHTML(true);

$mail->Subject = 'Subject';
$mail->Body    = 'Email body content';

if(!$mail->send()) {
    echo 'Message could not be sent.';
    echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
    echo 'Message has been sent';
}
