Update phpMailer

[mattyrob]

Can we update to the most recent stable phpMailer so we can use secure email connections if needed with the SMTPSecure method.

Wow, someone is maintaining it again. Sure, we can give it a try. Looks like some extra stuff slipped into the patch though.

There does seem to be a fair amount of extra stuff slipped in there.

Need to give those changes a good review - don't want to break something which works quite well at the moment.

If you want Ryan I'll take this and give is a good look see before committing.

Have at it.

Basically, I grabbed the 3 files for PHP4 and copied them over the existing phpmailer files in the includes folder. I've done this on my main site and it appears to work for me - has done for 48hours now without any missing emails - I'm still getting registrations and comment notifications and emails via Subscribe2 are working fine too.

Just thought you should know :-)

+1 for updating this. Getting TLS support would be a good enhancement. POP-before-SMTP is also worthwhile as it's another popular security scheme.

(In [8762]) Update phpMailer to 2.0.2. Props mattyrob. fixes #7474

Verified that it included old fixes, especially the security one. Did some light testing.
