Hi,
first i want to say that i think that its completely stupid to use php.ini for two mail settings, smtp server and port. Perhaps i want to use a different smtp server for mantis, but setting it in the php.ini is vhost wide. Yeah, i could set these both vars on the fly but thats not what i want, i want clean programming and i think everyone else too.
second i want to ask why i have to install phpmailer (see the docs) while its already included in mantis? Mantis includes phpmailer which comes with mantis and since i read the docs i placed (a different phpmailer version) into my includes dir.
What the hell are you developers doing? Remove phpmailer and let users installing their own version.

Re: PHPmailer
You should ask them by mailing to the mantisbt-dev mailing list or discuss this in IRC channel.an3k wrote: What the hell are you developers doing? Remove phpmailer and let users installing their own version.
Of course, asking in a friedly way will help.
I am pretty sure there is or was a reason to handle phpMailer in this way.
I did not have a closer look at it, but in version 1.2 at least directory structure changed.
Third party libraries are seperated in a library tree. There is also a documentation of versions and changes which are necessary to run MantisBT
Re: PHPmailer
You have to configure the SMTP host in the config_inc.php file (and not in the php.ini file) and you don't need to install PHPMailer as it is included in Mantis...
