You will need to reference this

You will need to set the configuration in config/plugins.js

module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
  email: {
    logger: {
      debug: console.log,
      info: console.info,
      warn: console.warn,
      error: console.error
    },
    config: {
      provider: 'sendmail',
      settings: {
        defaultFrom: 'your-email@email.com',
        defaultReplyTo: 'your-email@email.com',
      },
    },
  },
});

You will need to add all the appropriate options for sendmail. You can reference the sendmail docs here. @strapi/provider-email-sendmail - npm

But I believe for it to work you would need to have a email server running locally. Which is something I am not familiar with.

I typically use node-mailer or sendgrid they are much easier to setup.

Here is a video that covers sendgrid set up, the demo is using Strapi Cloud but the setup steps are the same when setting it up locally.
