# Feature: #65791 - Use PHP configured sendmail path, if \[MAIL\]\[transport\] = sendmail is active {#feature-65791}

See [forge#65791](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/65791)

## Description {#description}

The install tool setting `[MAIL][transport_sendmail_command]` is now retrieved automatically from
PHP runtime configuration `sendmail_path` during installation (instead of '/usr/sbin/sendmail -bs').

## Impact {#impact}

There are no impacts on current installations.

New installations will have `[MAIL][transport_sendmail_command]` automatically set during installation
using `sendmail_path` from PHP runtime configuration. It can still be changed manually.

As this setting is only used if `[MAIL][transport]` is set to `sendmail`, it doesn't have impact on
other transport schemes.
