Description:
------------
Quick summary: /usr/share/pear/Mail/smtp.php calls getResponse() on a Net_SMTP object (line 338).

However, the stable version of Net_SMTP (1.2.8) does not include this method:

http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/pear/Net_SMTP/SMTP.php?revision=1.28&view=markup

All goes ok until an SMTP problem occurs, then a fatal error results:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: getresponse() in /usr/share/pear/Mail/smtp.php on line 338

I don't know if the appropriate action is a fix for Mail/smtp.php, or a packaging adjustment to set the proper dependencies. But the current situation makes for a nasty surprise...

Test script:
---------------
<?php
require_once 'Mail.php';
define('SMTP_HOST', 'www.trocadero.com'); // use your own!

$mail =& Mail::factory('smtp',array ('host' => SMTP_HOST));
if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
echo '<p>Unable to connect to smtp server.';
}
echo "<p>created mailer instance";
$addrs=array('tms@infamous.net','bogus');
foreach ($addrs as $to) {
$hdrs = array('From' => 'tms@trocadero.com', 'Subject' => 'test message',
'To' => $to);

if (!$mail->send($to, $hdrs, "This is a test e-mail message.")) {
echo "<p>Unable to send e-mail: ".
$mail->getMessage().' '.$mail->toString();
}
echo "<p>sent mail to $to";
}
?>

Expected result:
----------------
I expect Mail::send to return an error when it encounters the bogus address.

I expect that Mail 1.1.14 would have appropriate dependencies to require a version of Net_SMTP that won't cause a fatal error.

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: getresponse() in /usr/share/pear/Mail/smtp.php on line 338

May have had a PEAR config problem on our end. Investigating and will re-file if bug is real.
