How sendmail works
- Accepts scalar, string-array, or cell-array recipients plus subject and body text.
- Writes RFC822-style messages to RUNMAT_SENDMAIL_OUTBOX when configured.
- On native hosts, uses RUNMAT_SENDMAIL_COMMAND or /usr/sbin/sendmail when available.
- Reports a clear error when only SMTP preferences are configured because direct TLS SMTP transport is not available in this build.
Using sendmail with coding agents
Open a RunMat example with live inputs, then ask the agent to explain how sendmail changes the result.
Run a small sendmail example, explain the result, then change one input and compare the output.
