Found a small 'bug' (more of a consistency issue) in the Email library in 1.6.2 (may have existed in earlier versions too). The "_smtp_auth" variable is only set if the username and password has been passed to the contructor, not if its passed to the "initialize" method as can be expected.

Broken Example: (does not try to auth with the smtp server)

Code:

$this->load->library('email');

$config['protocol']     = 'smtp';

$config['smtp_port']    =  25;

$config['smtp_host']    = 'mail.test.com';

$config['smtp_user']    = '[email protected]';

$config['smtp_pass']    = 'somepassword';

$this->email->initialize($config);

Working Example: (auths with the smtp server perfectly)

Code:

$config['protocol']    = 'smtp';

$config['smtp_port']   =  25;

$config['smtp_host']   = 'mail.test.com';

$config['smtp_user']   = '[email protected]';

$config['smtp_pass']   = 'somepassword';

$this->load->library('email', $config);

From what I can find, you only set the '_smtp_auth' variable in the CI_Email constructor using this line of code:

Code:
$this->_smtp_auth = ($this->smtp_user == '' AND $this->smtp_pass == '') ? FALSE : TRUE;

If you try to initialize after construction with the login details, they are ignored since '_smtp_auth' in not set anywhere else.

Minor annoyance, but would be easy enough to fix and save the next guy 30 min of head scratching.
