Summary:
Add SSL/TLS support to SMTP mailer method
Detailed Description:
An increasing number of SMTP hosts are requiring the use of SSL for sending
email. Of particular interest to small businesses, Google Apps requires the use
of SSL. The addition of SSL support to CMSMailer would make this module even
more useful as a general purpose mail API. Adding SSL support can be
accomplished at very little increase in module complexity.
Drupal has confronted the same issue here: http://drupal.org/node/39138
The attached patch, written against CMSMailer 1.73.11, provides SSL/TLS
connection support. The preferences user interface has also been modified to
add a radio box to select SSL, TLS, or unencrypted connection types. I have
tested the functionality against smtp.gmail.com and it appears to work fine.
