Hook for sending mail

[joey102030]

I know it is standard for a PHP setup to have a working mail() function, but I'm doing some work on a server where the local SMTP server has been disabled.

While it's fairly trivial to set the SMTP server global variable to a remote server, it's impossible to setup authentication into the remote SMTP server.

Therefore it would be useful to be able to hook into any functions which send email (eg forgotten password for admin login) and override it with phpMailer (or similar).

I find this useful. And I have searched the core code (wire) and found only three function calls:

1. https://github.com/ryancramerdesign/ProcessWire/blob/master/wire/core/shutdown.php#L73
2. https://github.com/ryancramerdesign/ProcessWire/blob/master/wire/modules/Process/ProcessForgotPassword.module#L166
3. https://github.com/ryancramerdesign/ProcessWire/blob/master/wire/modules/Fieldtype/FieldtypeComments/FieldtypeComments.module#L290

It could be replaced by a hookable function called pwMail() or something like that.

public function ___pwMail($to, $subject, $message, $additional_headers=null, $additional_parameters=null) {
	return @mail($to, $subject, $message, $additional_headers, $additional_parameters);
}
