Some SMTP Mail servers don't like you using the old internal PHP mail() 
function any more.
Its not safe to send E-mails this way hand has been for the past few years due 
it requires the SMTP Email server to run in a unsafe unsecured config which 
makes SMTP Email server more vulnerable to spammers trying to use it as an Open 
SMTP Mail Relay due a lot of the protection that prevents spammers doing this 
has to be turned off.

A lot of scripts now are no longer using the old internal PHP mail() function.
But provide a place where SMTP Mail Settings can be entered and used by the 
script instead

So add script support for SMTP Email Server settings to be used instead for 
mailing emails out

SMTP Email or PHP mail() function.

SMTP Host

SMTP Port

SMTP Username

SMTP Password

SMTP Secure Connection: Options: None / SSL / TLS (Required if some email 
servers need an SSL authentication to login in order to send mails - SSL / TLS 
uses OpenSSL)

Enable '-f' Parameter: - Some send mail servers may require the '-f' parameter 
to be sent with email calls from PHP
