Description globus 2017-12-09 15:57:45 UTC
Hello, sorry my bad English.
mailutils contains a config /etc/mailutils.rc and complains about his outdated name. If it to rename in /etc/mailutils.conf works without problems.

Confirmed. Starting smartd under systemd yields these warnings:

Looks like in mailutils-3.3 the filename is changed to /etc/mailutils.conf. We're just absurdly out of date, even though 3.3 and 3.4 have been in the tree for ages:

    net-mail/mailutils: bump to 3.4

    net-mail/mailutils: bump to 3.3

I would suggest stabilization for 3.4, but there appear to be at least 5 bugs that would need to be fixed before stabilizing.

Eray, perhaps you can work through some of these bugs?

2 bugs and one test failure fixed and contacted upstream for another.  Let's check back in a couple of days.

Closing this one.  Conf file changed and stabilization is on #663264
