I just patched two websites to use the smtp module. In one website I just followd the readme.txt and installed the phpmailer library in the smtp module folder. All went well. In the other website I have the Libraries module installed. In that case smtp module looks for the phpmailer library in sites/all/libraries and not in the module folder. Maybe it is suppost to be, but the readme.txt is not clear on that.

Yes I observed this same problem. Actually I was using BETA5 and followed the README directions to put phpmailer in the module/smtp folder. All worked well and Drupal status reported no problems.

However, when upgrading to 1.0 the README directions no longer are accurate. The Drupal status report complained that the phpmailer folder needed to be placed in the library folder and not the module folder.

Perhaps the README and INSTALL documents can be updated.

Also noted that it was recommended that I move from phpmailer 2.x to the phpmailer 5.x version if I am using php 5.x. So I did that. Everything appears to work, however, there is no specific instruction if the included class.phpmailer.php patches need to be installed as well. I am guessing not, because there is no patch for phpmailer 5.x.

Anyway that could be made clear in the updated README / INSTALL as well.

Thanks for a great module.
