Description
Since 5.0, the latest swiftmailer does not support PHP mail. We updated it to use Sendmail and try to detect the path to Sendmail so we can set it appropriately. Whatever method we're using to detect the path to Sendmail, we should be able to use to check whether Sendmail exists or not. If it doesn't exist, we should alert for this in the System Status widget, since the installation is not likely to be able to send any email.
Suggestion for a message:
Sendmail could not be found. Please install Sendmail or configure SMTP Mail for email delivery.
Link to the Email Setup page.
Can we be sure that if PHP doesn't report the existence of Sendmail that it doesn't exist? Or that if it does report it it doesn't?
