I recently submitted a patch to cvs that allows you to use an external
mailer, just as the unix builds use sendmail. I tested using indigomail,
which has a compatible command line syntax to sendmail. To use the external
mailer, you specify the sendmail_path option in the ini file (leave blank to
use the internal mailer).
