I finally managed to send an email with the phpmailer class, on localhost, without the need to install ssl on the machine. This tip was tested now in January 2017.

To be able to send email with phpmailer locally, simply edit the file 'class.smtp.php' and right after the line:

public function connect($host, $port = null, $timeout = 30, $options = array()){
static $streamok;
    //This is enabled by default since 5.0.0 but some providers disable it
    //Check this once and cache the result

enter the code:

if (count($options) == 0){
  $options['ssl'] = array('verify_peer' => false, 'verify_peer_name' => false, 'allow_self_signed' => true);
}

hope I’ve helped!!
