[Savannah-hackers] Using ssmtp in the chroot

[Sylvain Beucler]

Hello,

The change in the frontend to use SMTP instead of PHP mail() is not
welcome in Savane, and has some issues (like missing Date: field).

It would be better to still use the PHP mail() function.

I did not found documentation on why the SMTP code was used in the
first place; I assume it was meant to avoid installing exim in the
apache root.

I suggest we instead install ssmtp (or a similar tool) in the apache
root, that will forward mail to localhost. It will ease the merge with
Savane and work like exim.

Is anybody against this?
