[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  in class.phpmailer.php changed  var $Mailer ="mail";
to
var $Mailer  = "smtp";
added     var $Host  = "smtp.servername.com";
2. in settings.php
$smtp_server = 'smtp.servername.com';

sendmail installed /configured.
able to send mail via commandline
phpmail installed (php-PHPMailer-5.2.1-2)
able to send mail with phpmailer

restarted httpd deamon

when clicking on the "Forgot Password Link"
Getting Error Message: "SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host."

Can you tell me how to turn on logging or where to look to try and resolve this?

Thanks
S
