Do you know some good plugin or how to fix that thanks

What's local-bobo, and do you need it? NodeBB should send emails using local sendmail, out of the box.

Either way, though, I'd recommend a third-party emailer via SendGrid, as they have a free plan.

After clean install on new server without apache
Ubuntu 16.04 nignx my conf nginx -t is good.
nodebb works as well
but i never can sent any email with nodebb i was thinking we need some plugin for that.
ERROR
The sendmail executable could not be found, please ensure it is installed and executable by the user running NodeBB.
That is without any plugin.
Thanks

@Bastien you will either need sendmail installed on your server to be able to send email from local or use one of the available emailer plugins. Those third party emailer services do have some free plans.
