Suspicious comment in class-smtp.php

[ticktoo]

No big thing, but annoying: wp-includes/class-smtp.php, line 412:

hacked by Lance Rushing

"hacked by" is a common filter criteria for several tools in multiuser-hosting environments. Since the last (Auto-)Update of Wordpress, many customer's installations throw a warning because of a automated scanner finds this wording. I think that's kind of unprofessional and should be removed or replaced.

Thanks.

This comes from PHPMailer and appears to have been there for quite a while (December 2012): ​https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/commit/5c70a370e2b09daa97d46e3fc4153a25f1a32207#diff-ac5c95a7c256b389656048bd46dc2985R477

That said, though, this came into core in [27385] for 3.9.
