Summary	0023157: phpMailer SMTP Verify Peer
Description	Unable to send e-mails to mail servers with self-signed certificates.
Steps To Reproduce	If you try to send an smtp e-mail from mantis to a mail server with a self-signed ssl certificate via tls protocol, the e-mail silently fails.
Additional Information	To fix, I altered email_api.php and added the code below. Works fine afterwards. `// Specify additonal options for success! $t_mail->SMTPOptions = array ( 'ssl' => array( // Only care that the connection is secure. 'verify_peer' => false ) );`
Tags	No tags attached.

Adds complexity and possibly limits what email library we use in the future. It is not a typical configuration and code can easily be tweaked if someone needs such feature. Hence, I'm planning to resolve this as won't fix.
