Description David Walser 2021-11-05 18:16:49 CET

RHEL9 beta release notes mention:
"s-nail replaces mailx

The s-nail mail processing system has replaced the mailx utility. The s-nail utility is compatible with mailx and adds numerous new features. The mailx package is no longer maintained in the upstream.

(BZ#1940863)"

And indeed nail upstream has been dead for several years.  The last mails on their mailing list were years ago and were in fact release announcements for s-nail:
https://sourceforge.net/p/nail/mailman/nail-devel/

The s-nail upstream website is now here:
