Indeed, I hadn't realized that Act couldn't send mails. Sorry.
Found two problems:
- postfix was misconfigured; fixing that made it send me a few
thousands of queued mails
- Act had a workaround something Email::Simple didn't do when
it was originally written, and I guess does now; quickly
commenting that part of the code seems to fix the problem
I received confirmation mails from both test & prod sites.
Can you confirm as well?
