While other parts of Koha do rely on Sendmail directly, I think Owen has a very
good point. We should definitely be using the notice templates, and we should
probably be using the message queue.

The notice templates allow libraries to provide their own wording/translations
to the message. I think that's a *must*. 

Using the message queue also helps Koha administrators to track the messages
going out, since they might not have direct access to the MTA or mail server. 

Owen: I'm not sure what your testing scenario is but I noticed recently that my
Koha VM's MTA is configured out of the box not to send email outside of its
local domain. I don't know if that's relevant for you though.
