[bug] recommended php.ini settings cause phpmailer to fail sending

[WMCyn]

in the recommended php.ini

The disabled functions cause phpmailer to stop with an error as it cannot call "popen" to sendmail.

from cron task table error: "Call to undefined function PHPMailer\PHPMailer\popen()"

also this causes the system to complain about security configuration being wrong when the "popen" is re-enabled, see image.

How do we stop the system warning about this???

php config used was from:|

popen is not recommended for security reasons, if you need to use it, enable it.

Marius, does current version of system uses the same settings? If not can this be updated?

popen is not recommended for security reasons, if you need to use it, enable it.

The main problem is that the recommended settings stop a basic function of the system, making it confusing to find the cause.

Is their an alternative setting for the email sending that does not need the "popen" function?

If not then most systems will need "popen" enabled as most systems will be using email (even something as simple as forgotten password will need email) .
