Which email adapters can I use within Cockpit? Would be nice to use Mailjet or Mailgun. How can I accomplish this?

Thanks!

Cockpit uses `PHPMailer` with a small `Mailer` class as a wrapper. The default use case is to use smtp with a hoster of your choice.

You could override it if you set a custom mailer service via `config/bootstrap.php` or with an addon.
