The impact was too much, this school district uses moodle to register for classes, so I was trying to troubleshoot but keep it usable.
You guys where right on it being a smtp related problem. I ran a upgrade to the latest Moodle (had a PHPmailer fix of some sort) and blanked out the email settings and reset them from scratch.
No more errors Thank for your help
