      in moodle 2.2, editing get_mailer() function in /lib/moodlelib.php to add:
      $mailer->SMTPSecure = "tls"; // or "ssl";
      after $mailer->IsSMTP();

      Similar fixes can also be done directly in the /lib/PHPMailer files to force SSL/TLS.

      1. find a SMTP server that accepts TLS or SSL only
      2. specify the full SMTP hostname:port in Email settings, e.g.:smtp.example.com:587
      3. open up /login/forgot_password.php in browser and trigger a password reset email
      4. the cannotmailconfirm error show up

      There is no option to specify the SMTPSecure property of PHPMailer in the admin email settings section. Specifying just the :port by itself is insufficient to trigger PHPMailer to use SSL/TLS connection prefix and will not initiate the connection correctly.

      If I remember correctly, this has been an issue since early 1.x (1.6?).
