The 10mail script is trying to send messages with /usr/bin/mail (aka mailx), which is a user agent, not intended for automated message sending. I believe it should be using the /usr/sbin/sendmail or /usr/lib/sendmail command instead, as that command is meant for non-interactive message sending.
Accordingly, the package should probably declare Recommends: default-mta | mail-transport-agent instead of mailx | mailutils.
Use case:
The current script's use of the mail command is causing message delivery to fail on my systems. This was at first because there no mail user agent was installed (since there are no local mail users), but even when I installed one, I discovered that it (gnu mailutils) overrides my system's MTA configuration to use an invalid MAIL FROM address, causing the upstream mail host to reject smartmon's outgoing messages. |

Several more hours spent experimenting with mailutils configuration options just led to one form or another of the same type of problem, all rooted in the fact that mailutils makes assumptions that are just plain wrong on some installations. I would like my sanity back, please. :) |
