How to configure sendmail for 'be subscribe'

Hi list,

I am evaluating BE for usage and I am currently stuck with the command "be subscribe". Other systems like
TRAC provide the option to configure the used email account (server, username and password). Is this
somehow possible with BE? If not, what programs are used to send emails to the subscriber lists - in this
case I could reconfigure them to get the same effect… 

Hopefully, someone from this list can help me with this issue

Best regards
Sebastian

I haven't played with this feature in a while, so there may be a few
bugs in the current implementation, but the email subscriptions are
currently handled in interfaces/email/interactive/be-handle-mail with
mail being send with send_pgp_mime, which uses a local SMTP server by
default.  I've pulled out the send_pgp_mime functionality into a
stand-alone pgp_mime package [1], which uses pyassuan [2] talking to
gpgme-tool [3] for the cryptography.

I want to get gpgme-tool's socket handling polished up a bit more, but
once I get the gpgme changes pushed through upstream I can clean up
this portion of BE.  With pgp_mime, you can configure the default SMTP
connection using ~/.config/smtplib.conf, which allows you to set all
the usual SMTP connection options to connect to other hosts.

Cheers,
Trevor
