[[!tag wishlist]]
For sending out password reminder emails, the [[plugins/passwordauth]] plugin currently uses
the *[Mail::Sendmail](http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Mail::Sendmail)* module.
This module, however, has the limitation that it can only talk *SMPT*,
but can't use the standard Unix *sendmail* (command-line) interface.
I don't want to have an MTA with a SMTPd running on my web server system.
Would it be possible to switch to using one of the existing Perl modules that support
the *sendmail* interface?
From doing a quick search, these might be some candidates:
* <http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Mail::Transport::Sendmail>
* <http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Email::Send::Sendmail>
* <http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Mail::SendVarious>
* <http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?EasyMail>
None of them are packaged for Debian so far, but that should be doable easily, as far as I know.
ikiwiki might perhaps even try to use all of them in turn until it finds a working one.
I'd offer to work on a patch for the [[plugins/passwordauth]] plugin and other places
in the ikiwiki source code, where emailing is done.

OK, so I'll have a look at replacing all email handling with *Email::Send*.
[[!tag patch]]
*<http://www.thomas.schwinge.homeip.net/tmp/ikiwiki-sendmail.patch>*
Remaining TODOs:
* Resolve TODOs as denoted inside the patch.
* Is it worthwhile to use and depend on [[!cpan Return::Value]]
just for this bit of functionality?
* Debian news file.
* ikiwiki news file.
