I will translate this in english.

Ok, when i have time, i'll do this, and commit it to github.
-- See all the place where Mail::Sendmail is used and use instead Mail::Sender or C4::Mail.
All places where it is used are listed with git log in github.

Yes, i'm agree. But i do not decide what module will be used to send mails. In my koha installs i use mine.

I also agree that it would be better to have only 1 perl module for this topic (sending emails). I guess we should call a vote. Then we'll just have to volunteer someone to change the code ;) I don't have a preference either way. However it seems that being able use an external SMTP server is a big deal. So I will start by voting for Mail::Sender and C4::Mail -- Michael Hafen Systems Analyst and Programmer Washington County School District Utah, USA for Koha checkout http://development.washk12.org/gitweb/ or git://development.washk12.org/koha

Using an external SMTP server is a big thing. It requires a lot of extra error handling to avoid losing mail, because SMTP servers need not accept email when koha wants to send it. A local sendmail is safer in that way. How does this C4::Mail handle getting 4xx or 5xx replies?
