Body: <p>My host is upgrading php from version 5.5 to 5.6 next week.  I am running wordpress v 4.5.3 and civicrm v 4.7.10.  Should I be concerned about anything going wrong with the running of my site after the upgrade?  They offer a 'PHP CGI' installer that can be used to install an older version of PHP onto my site if needed.</p>
  
  <p>I'm a bit of a newbie so sorry for my ignorance on this matter.</p>

  Run the following to ensure SMTP will work properly. Bad certificates will cause mail not to send and the "CRON not Running" Error.
  Go to the following website:
  <http://www.checktls.com/>
  
  and enter you email address and press the CheckTLS button and review the output.
  
  In my case, it highlighted that the mail server was using expired and self-signed certificates.
