To make use of a contact form it would be required that the sandstorm port of wordpress is able to send emails. I know that this will be one of the drivers being available later.

It would be cool that smtp connections would be allowed e.g. with this plugin: https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/easy-wp-smtp.zip

With the mentioned extension I have the following problem:

As I'm not quite sure how the sandstorm port of wordpress is build I don't know which of the solutions posted here https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/wiki/Troubleshooting might work.

Is there any plan of allowing to send emails by wordpress e.g. for contact forms?

Thanks!

Ahh, this seems similar to sandstorm-io/sandstorm#1902. In fact, maybe this tracker is the appropriate place for that other issue.

Hi! I think it would be possible to get this to work the same way that the RoundCube app works: by using the "sandstorm SMTP bridge", which in turn uses HackEmailSession. To get WordPress to talk to the SMTP bridge we would need to make sure that php.ini has appropriate configuration.

So far, I've been hesitant to hook this up until we have proper powerbox support, so that the user would have the option of denying the email-sending capability.

@dwrensha Can you elaborate on "powerbox support"? (Or link me to an explanation?) I'd be willing to look into this myself because lack of emails from WordPress are a showstopper for my use case.

Thanks again!

There's some explanation about the powerbox here.
