Nice plugin.

But it misses on the simplicity of the task in hand.

This is actually all you need:

<?php
/*
 * Plugin Name: pjw-wp-mail-smtp
 * Version: 0.1
 * Plugin URI: http://blog.ftwr.co.uk/wordpress/
 * Description: Get PHPMailer to use smtp not mail()
 * Author: Peter Westwood
 * Author URI: http://blog.ftwr.co.uk/
 * */

add_action('phpmailer_init','pjw_phpmailer_init');

function pjw_phpmailer_init($php_mailer)
{
    $php_mailer->Mailer = 'smtp';
    $php_mailer->Host = 'localhost';
}
?>

The hook phpmailer_init is called just before ->Send in trunk and you
can just override the few parameters and not have to replace the whole
of wp_mail.

Hope this helps.
