Dispatch Messages With Sendmail
*******************************

If you try to configure **only** an outgoing email account
(i.e. you don't want to set up an incoming IMAP/POP3 account at all),
you will find that it's simply not possible via the email channel setup wizard.
Instead, you will have to create it via the CLI.

To configure Zammad to use sendmail, run the following command
(use rails r [...] if you installed Zammad from source):

.. code-block:: bash

   zammad run rails r "Channel.create(area: 'Email::Account', options: { inbound: { adapter: 'null', options: {} }, outbound: { adapter: 'sendmail' } }, active: true, preferences: { editable: false }, updated_by_id: 1, created_by_id: 1)"

Now, you should see a new **Email Account** entry in the admin settings panel:

.. figure:: /images/channels/zammad_email_sendmail.png
   :alt: The new, outbound-only email channel appears in the admin settings
         email panel.
   :align: center

   Use the **Add** button under the **Email Address** heading to add new email
   addresses to send from.
