use mail() as alternative transport for email backend

[tkdb]

Is it already possible to use PHP's mail() as alternative transport to send out log events via email?

If not I think this is a considerable option because I think Zend_Mail supports it as backend (IIRC) and it normally comes with zero-configuration.

I ask because right now I have got some problems sending through the SMTP server which doesn't work in an esoteric fashion punctually and the hoster is not really helping much.

Having an alternative is always good.

SMTP generally works fine btw, this must be our hoster.

Transport class for PHP's mail() in Magento Zend Framework is Zend_Mail_Transport_Sendmail which is wrapping PHP's mail(). This looks like a way to go.
