Disclaimer
There is no guarantee that this plugin SMTP modifications will work with every server or
hosting company. For PHP to send emails through secure servers (SSL/TLS), you need OpenSSL
extension installed. Plugin tests for that. If it is missing, you must consult your hosting
company about it. In some cases your ISP can block off some servers to be used for SMTP due to spam
concerns, and it can fail during tests. Always make sure to test your settings on the live
server, to make sure all is OK. Localhost tests can fail due to ISP rules.
