As of Ubuntu 16.04, the heirloom-mailx
package is a transitional package for s-nail
.
Not realising this, I was having trouble with mailx
not recognising the /etc/nail.rc
file I’d copied from a working Ubuntu 15.10 server. As it turns out, the global config file path for s-nail
is /etc/s-nail.rc
. I found this out quickly by using strings
to find the text '.rc'
in the mailx
binary: strings /usr/bin/mailx | grep '\.rc'
(thanks to jpollard for this tip).
