Description Aaron Slunt 2010-07-09 00:31:25 UTC

Hi, it would be helpful if we had a mailx useflag for rkhunter 1.3.6. I have no use for rkhunter's mailing scripts, and for that matter no use for mailx. Would it be possible to get a useflag to disable mailx support?

Reproducible: Always

Oh, I have only just added that dependency. Maybe it should be converted into an elog message that /advises/ users to install a virtual/mailx. Setting an optional dependency isn't going to be much use if the only thing it does is to install a runtime dep.

I've added an elog message to suggest using virtual/mailx.

 * If you want rkhunter to send mail, you will need to install
 * virtual/mailx as well.

Thank you! I appreciate your time.
