When using caff from the signing-tools pacakge, it looks for sendmail
in the wrong places [1]. It would be useful to find a way to make it
work when installed.

I have found a workaround, which is to specify PERL_MAILERS as
sendmail:$(type -p sendmail), e.g.:

    PERL_MAILERS=3Dsendmail:$(type -p sendmail) caff ...

1: /usr/lib/sendmail;/usr/sbin/sendmail;/usr/ucblib/sendmail

What is the expected behaviour here?  Does it *only* work with sendmail?
Or would any mailer (like msmtp) work?  Should the user’s default mailer
be used or should we embed a reference to a specific mailer?

I don't have any expectations, but ideally, it would work without
specifying this environment variable.

I think approaches other than sendmail are supported [1], but I'm
unsure if that includes msmtp.

1: https://metacpan.org/pod/Mail::Mailer#DESCRIPTION

This is probably more about the Mail::Mailer perl package in the
perl-mailtools package, than caff, that just uses Mail::Mailer.

I spent a bit of time looking at the Mail::Mailer source code when
trying to get caff working, but unfortunately, bits of it are still a
bit cryptic to me.
