>From a noob grasping at straws here, try formatting the array as
follows:

$wgSMTP = array (
	"host" => 'smtp.globetrotter.net',
	"IDHost" => 'castortech.com',
	"port" => "25",
	"auth" => false
);

Just out of interest, once again from a noob, your domain appears to be
"castortech.com" whilst your email server is "smtp.globetrotter.net".
I've got auth set to false as I'm behind my companies firewall, running
only on our internal network, but you appear to be "jumping domains"
here castortech.com -> globetrotter.net so shouldn't you have to log in
to globetrotter  to send emails hence auth should be true with a
username and password? I just ask as I'm unaware of what your internal
network structure is.

p.s. And yes I know I've probably used all of the wrong terms, "jumping
domains" etc, to describe the situation but I think I've got the idea
across......
