Interesting question. Ubuntu definitely supported $HOME/.mailrc aliases in version 10.04 (with its installed postfix).
Also, the "mail" command has supported $HOME/.mailrc since the 1980s, even pre-Linux. It would be (IMHO) pretty unwise/unlikely to drop support for a config file that Linux scripts worldwide have depended on for decades. That would be like bash dropping support for $HOME/.bashrc. Is /usr/bin/mail even part of postfix? It's not in any postfix package in 13.04 (see bug #1222179) but somehow gets installed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to postfix in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1222181 Title: /usr/bin/mail ignores aliases in $HOME/.mailrc To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/postfix/+bug/1222181/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
