# wp-includes/class-phpmailer.php problem

 * my wordpress installation is not sending e-mails. I tried to override mail function
   in couple ways: using wp-smtp-email plugin, adding actions to functions.php, 
   sending through smpt – nothing works. the plugin log indicates that for some 
   reason the code within wp-includes/class-phpmailer.php variables are not overwritten
   when sending messages. The messages are forced from “root@localhost” email which
   is clearly incorrect. The same website installed on similar but other hosting
   works flawlessly.
 * I tried to match server permission but they are the same 644. I even temporarily
   gave class-phpmailer.php full permissions to no avail. This is becoming increasingly
   frustrating and I can’t find no clues or solution. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
