Are there any advantages to using Native mail notifications vs. SMTP notifications?

I think, and im not sure on this as its something I read, is that the SMTP code is more efficient than the PHP built-in mail function. Thus uses less resources.

SMTP should be better. Better support than via PHP (my opinion), less system resources and no limits for sending for example...

Both transports are good and you should not have any issue with any of them. Native email uses mail() function and works great if it is properly configured. if not you can use any SMTP server you have access to.

Btw, SMTP is more efficient because only one connection is opened when sending multiple emails. Native email opens a connection for every email it sends.
