-- SUMMARY --

Adds SMTP support for sending e-mails using the PHPMailer library.

For a full description of the module, visit the project page:
  http://drupal.org/project/phpmailer
To submit bug reports and feature suggestions, or to track changes:
  http://drupal.org/project/issues/phpmailer


-- REQUIREMENTS --

* Access to an SMTP server

* PHPMailer for PHP5/6
  http://phpmailer.codeworxtech.com

Optional:

* To connect to an SMTP server using SSL, your PHP installation needs to have
  OpenSSL support.

* Mime Mail module to send HTML e-mails
  http://drupal.org/project/mimemail

* Personalized E-mails module to adjust the displayed sender name
  http://drupal.org/project/pmail


-- INSTALLATION --

1. Download PHPMailer for PHP5/6 from

     http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=26031&package_id=252700

   and extract the the following files to the subdirectory 'phpmailer' of this
   module:

     class.phpmailer.php
     class.smtp.php
 
   Be careful NOT to extract the path names contained in the archive.

2. Install as usual, see http://drupal.org/node/70151 for further information.


-- CONFIGURATION --

* Configure user permissions at Administer >> User management >> Access control
  >> phpmailer module.

  Only users with the "administer phpmailer settings" permission will gain
  access to the module configuration page.

* When not using the optional Mime Mail module, customize module settings at
  Administer >> Site configuration >> PHPMailer.

  If used in conjunction with Mime Mail, PHPMailer will show up as an e-mail
  engine in the Mime Mail module settings.  Note that there will be no separate
  PHPMailer configuration page in this case.

* Using Google Mail as SMTP server

  To send e-mails with Google Mail use the following settings:

    SMTP server:     smtp.gmail.com
    SMTP port:       465
    Secure protocol: SSL
    Username:        your_google_mail_name@gmail.com
    Password:        your_google_mail_password

  Note however, that Google automatically rewrites the "from" line of any e-mail
  you send via their SMTP gateway to your Google Mail address.  Also note the
  sending limits [1] for Google Mail accounts.

* Debug settings

  PHPMailer supports rerouting all e-mails for debugging purposes, so you don't
  accidentally send e-mails to your users from a development site.  To enable
  this feature, add the following lines to the end of your settings.php (usually
  located in sites/default):

    $conf = array(
      'phpmailer_debug_email' => 'your_debug_email@yoursite.com',
    );

  This will change the recipient of all e-mails to the configured address.
