sendmail and mailx require a running SMTP server on your computer, which we chose to be postfix.

To actually send the mails, we use the aptly named 'nodemailer' module, with the 'smtp' transport mechanism, which also relies on a running SMTP server. (btw, one can use a 'sendmail' transport mechanism).
