PHPMailer Suddenly Stopped working

We upgraded OpenSSL on our servers a few days ago. This may have resulted in SSL for SMTP breaking. I’m going to do some investigation into this. The provided SMTPOptions are a good workaround until then. Please note that you should AVOID such SMTPOptions as much as possible, because fixing SSL issues by disabling most SSL security features is NOT a good solution.
