SMTP - TLS (suggestion)

[lorol]

Hi,
I managed to ugly-patch htmlMimeMail.php and smtp.php to be able to test Gmail / Hotmail free SMTP services.

Of course, it is not very serious for any manufacturing company to use them, neither to use an ERP on free hosting :) but anyway, someone else may want to try or use SMTP w/TLS e-mailing

Notes - issues faced:

• STARTTLS on port 587 is easy to be added add to the existing smtp.php
• However, these free SMTP (Gmail Hotmail) services are restrictive, so the 'From' should always be the same (as the SMTP login username)
• Also helo string in webERP may need longer size, better to use again a fixed one within the code - entire SMTP setup page needs a review, BTW
• There is a problem ( Shared hosting w/ PHP 7.4 environment ) htmlMimeMail.php to call statically this, like smtp:: and Mail_RFC822:: functions so I needed to place some workaround code, too.

Maybe a better replacement can be done w/ PHPmailer plus the necessary addition SMTP configuration fields.
Please consider.

SMTP mail works now with Gmail / Hotmail using TLS per #396
