C<$MailCommand> defines which method RT will use to try to send mail.
We know that 'sendmailpipe' works fairly well.  If 'sendmailpipe'
doesn't work well for you, try 'sendmail'.  Other options are 'smtp'
or 'qmail'.


so you can use smtp. THought, it can be less reliable if your smtp
server went unavailable. Also, as you propably set up your RT on an Unix
box, this is very recommended to have a small smtp sendmail compatible
on it to handle system emails. So why not use it for you're outgoing
emails and set your qmail as a relayhost for this smtp?
