I want you to add in all the widgets an extra option besides "hide from anonymous users" and "hide from registered users" ->
"Hide from unverified users"
I think it's so obvious that it doesn't really need explaining why.
It's great that we have several 3rd party email plugins, but I think we need a working local email plugin. Ideally, its functionality should be Core or bundled. I know we have the Emailer (Local) plugin, but that has not been updated to work with the latest code.
One of us will submit a pull request at some point.
Agreed, but don't just volunteer me.
What's the status of this? Can I just install some mail daemon on my server now and it sends out mails?
I couldn't find it in the docs
Third-party email server is still encouraged (e.g. Mandrill, PostageApp). I don't believe anybody uses the local email plugin, but I could be wrong!
