Exception: Serialization of ‘Closure’ is not allowed

by

Apparently anonymous functions cannot be serialized.

Example 

$function = function () {
    return "ABC";
};
serialize($function); // would throw error

From your code you are using Closure:

$callback = function () // <---------------------- Issue
{
    return 'ZendMail_' . microtime(true) . '.tmp';
};

Solution 1 : Replace with a normal function

Example 

function emailCallback() {
    return 'ZendMail_' . microtime(true) . '.tmp';
}
$callback = "emailCallback" ;

Solution 2 : Indirect method call by array variable

If you look at http://docs.mnkras.com/libraries_23rdparty_2_zend_2_mail_2_transport_2file_8php_source.html

   public function __construct($options = null)
   63     {
   64         if ($options instanceof Zend_Config) {
   65             $options = $options->toArray();
   66         } elseif (!is_array($options)) {
   67             $options = array();
   68         }
   69 
   70         // Making sure we have some defaults to work with
   71         if (!isset($options['path'])) {
   72             $options['path'] = sys_get_temp_dir();
   73         }
   74         if (!isset($options['callback'])) {
   75             $options['callback'] = array($this, 'defaultCallback'); <- here
   76         }
   77 
   78         $this->setOptions($options);
   79     }

You can use the same approach to send the callback 

$callback = array($this,"aMethodInYourClass");
