[rt-users] Question about SMTP in an upgrade from 4.0 to 4.2

[Chris Hall]

In a few days we'll be upgrading from RT 4.0.0 to 4.2.  I was reviewing the
upgrade document and I came across something distressing...

The C<smtp> option for L<RT_Config/$MailCommand>, along with the associated
C<$SMTPServer>, C<$SMTPFrom>, and C<$SMTPDebug> options, has been removed
because it did not guarantee delivery.  Instead, use a local MTA for
outgoing mail, via the 'sendmailpipe' setting to C<$MailCommand>.

I rely on those settings to send mail out to our smtp server, and thus far
it's worked out great.  In fact, they're very resistant to the idea of
having the RT server operate as a mail server.  If I'm reading this right,
am I to understand that after the upgrade I'll no longer be able to send
mail out via an external smtp server?  Is there any way around that?
