[wp-hackers] Adding phpmailer options (smtp for example)

[Callum Macdonald]

Hey westi,

I hadn't noticed the filter, but you're absolutely right, that would be 
called at the right point and would most likely work (I haven't tested 
it yet). I might well rework my plugin to use that approach. I'll 
probably do that when I add the option page.

Thanks for the feedback.

Cheers - Callum.
