I wouldn't use that plugin. Local email has been available without a plugin for awhile now.
oh thats true, it works now

I couldn't get that working - running exim4 on Debian Jessie
The sendmail executable could not be found, please ensure it is installed and executable by the user running NodeBB.
There is a sendmail command - but it's not pathed for non root users and -
/usr/sbin/sendmail
Exim is a Mail Transfer Agent. It is normally called by Mail User Agents,
not directly from a shell command line. Options and/or arguments control
what it does when called. For a list of options, see the Exim documentation.
is there any configuration you know of to control the built in mail function ?
Seems to work though when added to the path for the nodebb user. Still built in SMTP (or an up to date plugin) would be useful for some users I'm sure.
I was trying to use https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-plugin-emailer-local earlier, and although it worked, for every connection to exim4, exim4 complained afterwards SMTP command timeout on connection from localhost [127.0.0.1] - as though the mailer library was not closing connections to exim4 after sending.
Hi @BuZz
For sendmail, on our own servers, we run the following commands:
echo "PATH=/usr/sbin:$PATH" >> ~/.profile
and
echo "127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain $INSTANCE_ID" >> /etc/hosts
You can see the reasoning behind the latter here: https://brianhogg.com/how-to-fix-slow-sendmail-on-a-digital-ocean-ubuntu-droplet/
