Add ability for VyOS to sendmail
Open, WishlistPublicFEATURE REQUEST

Description

A nice capability would be to have a MTA available in VyOS so one can send status, notifications etc through SMTP.

A good enough alternative to fullblown sendmail would be to install msmtp which exists as a deb-package in Debian Bookworm.

Compared to using a script which uses netcat (nc) msmtp supports TLS which more and more emailservers prefers.
