is all the smtp replys

but the phpmailer try catch only catches two types of exceptions
I only get this trapped
echo $e->errorMessage(); //Pretty error messages from PHPMailer
and not this
echo $e->getMessage(); //Boring error messages from anything else!

but I want all types of errors to be logged

This is not a php thing. Your mail server is what handles any errors (being messages from the remote mail server) and logs them
Depending on your server set up you may not have access to it with php.

For "catch" to work you have to use "try" and it's not shown in your example code. I think I would fix that first, then create the SSCCE so we have something we can test with. You can use var_dump() to print out the contents of the exception object.

using phpmailer try/catch
how can I vardump and trap this error

try {
  $mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP
$mail->SMTPDebug  = $smtpdebug;                     // enables SMTP debug information (for testing)
$mail->SMTPAuth   = $smtpauth;                  // enable SMTP authentication
$mail->SMTPSecure = $smtpsecure;                 // sets the prefix to the servier
$mail->Host       = "smtp.gmail.com";      // sets GMAIL as the SMTP server
$mail->Port       = $port;                   // set the SMTP port for the GMAIL server
$mail->Username   = "username";  // GMAIL username
$mail->Password   = "password";            // GMAIL password  

 
  $mail->From = $mail->Username;
  $mail->FromName = "my name";
  
 $mail->AddAddress($email);




   $mail->Body='body';
   $mail->Subject='subject';
  
 $mail->Send();
  
  echo "Mail was sent.</p>\n";
  $email_wait=0;
} catch (phpmailerException $e) {
  echo $e->errorMessage(); //Pretty error messages from PHPMailer
  $email_wait=2;
} catch (Exception $e) {
  echo $e->getMessage(); //Boring error messages from anything else!
  $email_wait=3;
}
