The Mail System module provides an Administrative UI and Developers API for safely setting the mail_system variable.

My hope is that this functionality eventually gets included into core.

If other modules implement MailSystemInterface or set the mail_system variable, I haven't found them yet.

You need a patch to have an issue "needs review"

I'm hoping for feedback on whether this is the correct approach before I offer a patch to core. The module works as-is and could be added to core simply by copying the files from sites/all/modules/ to modules/ or by cut-and-pasting the code into system.module, by creating a new mail.module.

I am requesting a review of the code and a suggestion as to what direction I should take it in order to be considered for inclusion into core.

Per dww an issue *can* be marked "needs review" if it has a module implementation.

Finally found a core developer on IRC. (thanks, chx!)

Recommendation is to provide a generalized UI/API for setting *any* configuration variable, with a hook override for theming a particular variable or group of variables and/or breaking them out into a separate tab.

So... setting this to "Needs Work" until I get that done.

Looks like I should be able to work with the Variable module.

Also see #1135262: drupal_mail() should support using different MailSystemInterface classes for format() and mail()
