Public bug reported:

When a bad address is passed to PHPMailer, it produces output.  When
output_buffering is off in php.ini, a subsequent mahara redirect() call
produces an unnecessary big red "Something bad happened after headers
were sent" message.  We should turn exceptions on in phpmailer, and
catch them, to stop phpmailer from outputting its error messages.  Then
we can keep the "headers sent" messages for when we really need them.
