I recently installed the most recent version (5.2.22) on a customer's vtiger 5.4.0 system because the old one will not connect to certain tls smtp servers. The only thing I had to do was to include the class.smtp.php at the top of the class.phpmailer.php file to get it to work.
Please update this library.
