Thanks for sorting that out Ruslan. That's a very handy patch for people
to apply on their sites if they're affected by this problem.

Maybe we need to rethink a bit how we handle mail servers. What I mean
by that is that clearly we need to include more options than just the
name of an SMTP server:

- ssl or tls
- port number
- username/password (for those servers that require authentication)

So I think that it's probably time to change our simplistic comma-
separated list of SMTP hosts to perhaps an array of arrays.

I'm thinking something along the lines of:

$cfg->smtphosts = array(array('server' => 'smtp.gmail.com', 'port' =>
587), array('server' => 'localhost'));

but we should also make sure we are backwards-compatible and support the
old:

$cfg->smtphosts = 'smtp.example.com,localhost';

and also _maybe_ a simplified form like:

$cfg->smtphosts = array(array('server' => 'smtp.gmail.com', 'port' =>
587), 'smtp.example.com');

Of course, with confoptions becoming more complicated, maybe it's time
to think of moving this to a proper UI under site administration. What
do you think?

Bug description:
I set this on my config.php and config-defaults.php on the lib folder file



$cfg->smtphosts = 'smtp.gmail.com';
// If you have specified an smtp server above, and the server requires authentication, 
// enter them here
$cfg->smtpuser = 'leonelvsc@xxxxxxxxx';   
$cfg->smtppass = '**************************';


any ideas?
