I had a more detailed look at phpmailer, and it looks like the idea of
using multiple host smtp settings in array (e.g. $cfg->smtphosts =
array(array('server' => 'smtp.gmail.com', 'port' => 587,
user='someuser', password='somepass'), array(...)) ) will not work
unless we do host connectivity valudation outside phpmailer methods.
Point is that, while it expects that 'smtphosts' may contain semicolon-
separated list of hosts, all other parameters (port if specified
separately, username, password, SMTPsecure) are assumed to be the same
for all listed hosts (see class.phpmailer.php, line 783 onwards).

Given above, I suggest to leave config.php mail-related parameters as
they are now (not extending it to nestled array) and implement mail
configuration interface to the current mail settings as we agreed at bug
#132474.

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  In Progress

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?
