The User KDE Developer Posts 647 Karma 0 OS	[Akonadi] Use mailx for sending mails Sat Jul 11, 2009 1:32 pm Hi! There's a small applications called mailx or mail. It could be used for sending mails from KMail. There would be several advantages: -You could send from any eMail-address without a SMTP server -mailx just works, sendmail doesn't -There's a simple C-function called mail. Just call this function with To, CC, Bcc, From, Message, Subject, Attachments-parameters, that's it. You'd probably need just ~100 lines of code for From-selection and conversion into the format required by mailx The User Last edited by bcooksley on Sun Jul 12, 2009 7:46 am, edited 1 time in total.

One of our Google Summer of Code students, Constantin Berzan, is currently working on mail sending capabilties for Akonadi. It is quite likely that mailx support can be added as an alternative to sendmail once this is completed. Most user setups usually have a configuration which includes information about the SMTP server of the user's internet service providers or email hosting provider, so our mail sending infrastructure can directly send the mail to that server.
