Cloned from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1292747
Description of problem:
As a user I would like to have the default email configuration (specified in /etc/foreman/email.yml) to be changes to 'localhost' from 'smtp.example.com'
The reasoning for this is the following:
- Almost every server system has a local MTA (even if all that MTA does is relay mail to another).
- If I mail-enable a user accidentally without specifying an MTA, many of my tasks that send email (repository sync or content view promotion) end in a 'warning' state due to not being able to connect to 'smtp.example.com'
- Having the email sent to my local MTA allows the MTA the ability to retry delivery, queue the message and various other mail delivery tasks that MTA are good at.
