Title:
  Cannot send email via SMTP server with self signed certificate

Status in Mahara:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Mahara uses PHPMailer for sending emails. The default settings for
  PHPMailer are to disallow mail sending (with TLS) if the server has
  either a self signed certificate or if peer verification fails. This
  can also occur when using port 25 if the mail server is configured to
  require TLS to be started.

  In these cases the following mail options will allow the mail to be
  sent

  $mail->SMTPOptions = array(
      'ssl' => array(
          'verify_peer' => false,
          'verify_peer_name' => false,
          'allow_self_signed' => true
      )
  );

  To allow Mahara to be used with an external mail server in this case
  it is proposed to add the following configuration items:

  smtpallowselfsigned (default: false)
  smtpverifypeer (default: true)

  And the above ssl mail options would be set with these new options.
