I think it is pretty much established that all of these utilities were expecting a real MTA to be installed and running on systems.

Getting around installing an MTA may be more trouble than it is worth. That being said, I do feel using procmail instead of mailx is probably a viable alternative. Of course, it isn't easy to devise a solution to a problem which hasn't been defined. :-) -- Getting tired of non-Fedora discussions and self-serving posts -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
