FYI: Still an issue. Still an issue... fkater: out of curiosity, how will you read mails if mailx doesn't pull e.g., mailutils? I don't think opensmtpd provides such utilities. Maybe we can see it the other way round. apcupsd (which is for the uninterruptable power supplies from APC) is a package that wants to send out notifications via email. If virtual/mailx is meant for enabling an OS to send *and* receive mail, then it shouldn't be pulled in by packages that simply send. We'd probably require something like virtual/sendmail or so and make apcupsd depend on that. Especially in the times of IMAP. I think virtual/mailx is meant for different implementations of standard /bin/mail interface I am not really familiar with opensmtpd |
