One or both of these two tests:
1. ext/pcre/tests/bug72463.phpt
2. ext/pcre/tests/bug72463_2.phpt

are sending email, however they shouldn't *actually* send because of the mail configuration:
1. sendmail_path="echo >/dev/null"
2. SMTP=non.existent.smtp.server

Can you edit the two tests so that the mail messages are distinct, then rerun them to find out which is responsible?

And a shot in the dark: does "non.existent.smtp.server" resolve to anything on your server? Your DNS isn't using the .server TLD, right?

ext/pcre/tests/bug72463_2.phpt is responsible
My top domain is dk.
Notice the domain @name.dk, which does exist.

It seems to me that ext/pcre/tests/bug72463_2.phpt should be a Windows only test.

Right. bug72463_2.phpt was made to run on Linux as a result of
https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/2f70038#diff-52e6299aa380cc579975b8a3f91cbae5

I think that was incorrect: the SMTP setting is only for Windows, so it will be ignored on Linux and instead go with the normal sendmail defaults.

ext/standard's mail/bug69115 test looks to be in a similar situation:
