Details

Description: ddclient 3.8.2 cannot send e-mails


Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
See line #1579 - there is a command:
pipecmd("sendmail -oi $recipients",
"To: $recipients",
"Subject: status report from $program\@$hostname",
"\r\n",
$msgs,
"",
"regards,",
" $program\@$hostname (version $version)"

It uses sendmail to send mails - not installed in basic Arch Linux. After modifying to:

pipecmd("mail -s \"status report from $program\@$hostname\" $recipients",
$msgs,
"",
"regards,",
" $program\@$hostname (version $version)"


Everything works again.

Same problem will be in version 3.9.0
This task depends upon

Alternatively add an optional dependency on smtp-forwarder.

So a missing optdep, maybe?
