Adds SMTP support for sending e-mails using the PHPMailer library. Comes with detailed configuration instructions for how to use Google Mail as mail server.
The main differences to the SMTP module are:

- Improved performance through SMTP connection keep-alive (if supported by the mail server)
- Built-in e-mail rerouting option (useful during site building and development)
Prerequisites

- (3.x only) Libraries API
Extensions and integration
Modules that complement and extend PHPMailer module's functionality:
- Mime Mail to send HTML e-mails
- Personalized E-mails to adjust the sender name displayed in e-mail clients.
