Sending emails through SMTP with PHPMailer

Question

I\'m trying to send SMTP e-mails using PHPMailer, but I keep getting this error message, any ideas how to get rid of it?
I\'m trying to connect via SSL on port 465.

Yes, you need OpenSSL to work correctly. My backup testing site worked, my live server didn't. Difference? Live server didn't have OpenSSL within PHP configuration.
