Comment 14 for bug 1833331

Thanks Christian. Falling back to sendmail if mail(1) isn't available seems an effective solution which at the same time won't change the behavior of existing setups.

The issue this report is about is present in Debian too. Ubuntu doesn't normally make any changes over the Debian smartmoontools package, so this bug would be best fixed directly in Debian, and then Ubuntu will pick up the fix automatically.

I'm going to report this bug against the Debian smartmontools package and link this report to the Debian bug.
