S-nail - Mature and alive project - No patches needed to be build within BLFS - Upstream designer very responsive. - Can be build on FreeBSD and Linux OS type (I Like that) - git available (https://repo.or.cz/s-mailx.git) Comments?On the other hand, mailx is stable with the instructions we have and works fine. AFAIK, the only real use for it is in scripts and occasional testing.
MUA function (mailx) is essential, scripting may be, but reporting trouble via email is mandatory (in my LFS server mode, I am using s-nail in conjunction with nullmailer (small and efficient))
What does S-nail actually provide the user that mailx does not.
S-nail is an Heirloom mailx fork, 8 years old. strength are, flexible attachment capabilities and ISO-code. Steffen could tell us more about difference.
