msmtp is a very basic mail program that can do starttls. It is meant to
be used when installing postfix would be considered overkill.
It does use the mail command - the command in the cron job is:
EMAIL_CMD="|mail -s \"${EMAIL_SUBJECT}\" ${EMAIL_RECIPIENT} -- -f
${EMAIL_SENDER}"
And this is what is appended at the bottom of the email I get:
"mail: Cannot give -f and people to send to"
Other cron jobs that send mail show the sender, so I know it is capable
of doing so...
