That's fair, I can add smtp config.

Really I was just concerned about configuration overload from too many options. Seems like SMTP is worth splitting out, though.

I think SMTP is the way to go unless you're actually using specific proprietary mailer API features and there's no way to do the same via SMTP.

Solution is:

* SMTP by default

* if you want, some setup examples of using third-party mail services using their SMTP endpoint (most offer one)

Again you don't have to, it's an open-source project and you owe nothing to anyone. But if you fancy doing it, this is the way to go and will save headaches later.

And just remember the more HAM you send out to different domains and not SPAM, the better the IP gets overtime. And then BAM you got your own little self hosted poormans mailchimp.
