Hi all,
I’m getting the following error while trying to send emails on my new ERPNext v5 setup.
I have installed it as documented here:
I guess I’m missing some dependency, but not sure what ?
Any suggestions ? Do I need to set up postfix or some mail server ?

Reduced Functionality:
This version of wkhtmltopdf has been compiled against a version of QT without
the wkhtmltopdf patches. Therefore some features are missing, if you need
these features please use the static version.
Currently the list of features only supported with patch QT includes:
* Printing more then one HTML document into a PDF file.
* Running without an X11 server.
* Adding a document outline to the PDF file.
* Adding headers and footers to the PDF file.
* Generating a table of contents.
* Adding links in the generated PDF file.
* Printing using the screen media-type.
* Disabling the smart shrink feature of webkit.
