phpmailer certificate troubleshooting with PHP >= 5.6

Hello,

Context :
WordPress : 4.7.2, then phpmailer 5.2.22
MailPoet : 2.7.7
WP Mail Smtp : 0.10.1 https://fr.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/

I use my own smtp server to send all WordPress email. This server is different from the hosting server.
I use WP Mail Smtp plugin to configure easily Smtp and because it uses wp_mail() WordPress native function.

My Smtp server is self certificated and I had this phpmailer troubleshooting
https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/wiki/Troubleshooting#php-56-certificate-verification-failure
With WP Mail Smtp plugin I corrected by using the wp_mail_smtp_custom_options hook.

In MailPoet, I tried Smtp option but I could not change phpmailer SMTPOptions with a hook.

So I decided to activate the hidden WPMail site method in MailPoet settings by applying this snippet.

  if(class_exists('WYSIJA')){
    $model_config = WYSIJA::get('config','model');
    $model_config->save(array('allow_wpmail' => true));
  }

I did not work immediately. Indeed I found some bugs.
So I corrected the MailPoet code and now it works fine.

I found a 2 years old support discussion here
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ssltls-smtp-connections-fail-with-php-56/
but I did not find the reply about problem’s resolution

How may I contact you to discuss about my corrections or know if there is an alternative ?

Thanks a lot
Best regards
Emmanuel
