Description Stephan Friedrichs 2009-08-22 22:08:35 UTC

The /etc/init.d/smartd daemon (part of sys-apps/smartmontools) can use /bin/mail (part of mail-client/mailx) to send email on changes in the SMART values of harddisks.

I suggest to add a runtime dependency on mailx to smartmontools. It could be coupled to a useflag to reduce dependency-overhead.

The problem is that the smartd daemon silently fails and doesn't send any warning emails.

Reproducible: Always
