Basic sendmail configuration may be done interactively with the :new-account command. In accounts.conf (see aerc-accounts(5)), the following sendmail-specific options are available: outgoing = </path/to/sendmail> This should be set to the path to the sendmail binary you wish to use, which is generally /usr/sbin/sendmail. aerc will execute it with a list of recipients on the command line and pipe the message to deliver to stdin.
