Hello,
It seems the "mailx" package in main is actually Berkeley Mail, with sources
downloaded from the Arch mirror.

This actually does not provide mailx, but only mail.
Further, its compatability with POSIX mailx is not complete (mail 
supports -iInNv, -b -c -f -s -u but not POSIX -HFe)

The missing options are as follows:
-e: scripting (check for mail)
-F: save a copy of the mail in a file named for the first recipient
-H: write header summaries for mails and exit

Beyond these missing options, it does not support MIME (which means no
attachments and no UTF-8) or maildir archives.

I'm not going to claim that it's unmaintained upstream since OpenBSD is
maintaining it (although we aren't tracking OpenBSD).

But there are a few implementations of mailx that address some of these
deficiencies, besides adding features:
heirloom-mailx - based on Berkeley Mail 8.1, but extensively modified.
Formerly known as 'nail'.
This adds support for POP3/IMAP/SMTP, with or without SSL (openssl and nss
are supported), attachments, MIME, multiple accounts, and a few other
things.
Adds -aABdDeEFHrRS.
The latest source (12.4 + patch to CVS HEAD) compiles cleanly.

S-nail - fork of heirloom-mailx, with ambitious plans involving code
refactoring.  Currently supports all the features of heirloom mailx and
some UI enhancements.
Has a lot of releases (two last month, at least two the month before that)
Upstream expects to temporarily remove the IMAP support during refactoring.

mailutils - supports -eEfFHimnNpqrstu but not -bcIv
This is the GNU implementation; it ships a "mail" binary expecting
mailx to be a symlink to that.
There are also numerous other mail utilities.
This is in unmaintained/, and I'm not interested in adopting it; it
also doesn't support attachments.


I'm inclined to think that in the short term, heirloom-mailx would be
a significant improvement over our current main/mailx.

What I'd like to do is add testing/heirloom-mailx providing mailx;
I have a preliminary aport without the provides part.
In the future, upgrading to s-nail seems like a logical path; but
I think that using s-nail now might be hasty.

Thanks,
Isaac Dunham

I'm a mailx user and I 100% agree with your proposed plan.

Thanks!

heirloom-mailx is a clone of System V "mailx", based on Berkeley Mail 8.1.

It has been enhanced to provide all the command line options
required by POSIX, as well as several other features:
* support for MIME, S/MIME, and attachments
* support for SMTP(S), POP3(S), and IMAP(S)
* support for maildir-format email archives
... and much  more.

++[12.5] as of 7/5/10
++* The undocumented contenttype-cntrl option works again (patch by
++  Laurent Parenteau).
++
++[12.5] as of 6/20/10
++* Fixed a message corruption that occurred when the "inc" command was used
++  with a mbox format mailbox after encrypted messages had been viewed
++  (reported by Martin Neitzel).
++* Fixed a condition that caused mailx to hang when looking at a message,
++  copying that message, and issuing a "z" command evaluating an uncached
++  portion of an IMAP folder.
++* Make it compile with OpenSSL 1.0.0-beta2 (patch by Bernhard Rosenkränzer).
++* When executing an "account" command, ensure that the values of the "hold",
++  "keepsave", "append", and "emptybox" variables remain those of the previous
++  account for all outstanding operations on that account (bug reported by
++  Jeff Woodall).
++* Support Gmail IMAP semantics of "delete" turning into "archive". Previously,
++  when mailx was setting the "\Deleted" flag on a message, it did not set any
++  other flags. This caused mails that had been read and then deleted to appear
++  as unread in Gmail's "All Mail". Now, flags besides "\Deleted" are also set,
++  so that they are kept in the archived copy (reported by Jeremy O'Brien).
++* For RFC 2047 MIME "encoded-word" parts in headers, assume that the end of
++  each word resets the conversion state (Yedidyah Bar-David).
++* When the ORGANIZATION variable has an empty value, do not generate an
++  "Organization:" header field. Previously, this condition resulted in
++  mailx refusing to send mail (Thomas E. Kammeyer).
++* When classifying messages with the junk filter, when selecting the most
++  representative tokens, prefer non-junk tokens over junk tokens if both
++  have the same (reversed) probability, in order to avoid false positives.
++* When calculating the probabilities of tokens that have occurred only in
++  good messages or only in junk messages so far, and these tokens occurred
++  less than ten times, give them slightly less than the minimum/maximum.
++* Fixed "unignore" and similar commands; they did not work at all so far
++  (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=146280).
++
+ [12.4] released 7/29/08
+ * With the "-E" command line option or if the "skipemptybody" variable is
+   set, outgoing messages that contain no text in their first or only part

I think you're getting packages a little mixed up due to all the
occurences of mailx.

There are two preexisting packages:

unmaintained/mailx-support
main/mailx

mailx-support is the "lockspool" utility from OpenBSD, which should
probably be used whenever mbox-format spools are used.
If it were renamed to lockspool, that would be more informative.

main/mailx is in main, so I don't want to purge it just yet.
But it would be more accurate to rename it to main/mail

Now, a note: If heirloom-mailx gets renamed to mailx, it will need one
alteration:
I'm using the package name to rename mailx.1 so it doesn't conflict with
man-pages.
In my experiene, the magic that the fts APKBUILD uses to try to avoid
intalling fts-doc along with man-pages doesn't work, so I'd rather not
duplicate it.

Thanks,
Isaac Dunham

The upstream tarball is named mailx so i think you can just call it
testing/mailx and we simply purge unmaintained/mailx.

Thank you very much for following this up!

I'm bringing up this old issue because there are a couple of CVE issues:
http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2014/q4/1066

Do you think it would be possible to completely replace main/mailx with
heirloom-mailx without breaking too much? More specifically, does
heirloom/mailx' mail implementation support all the args in current
mail/mailx?

Hi,
I missed the topic :) 5 minutes... and I made a port from OpenBSD repo
(for musl). You need to fix the Makefile (gnu make).

Yes.
heirloom-mailx does not mention -v in its help, but seems to accept it.
Other options/arguments seem to be compatible.

Using this isn't really any better than using a random snapshot that
arch linux has prepared.

We could use openbsd as upstream but then we need to embed some script
in the APKBUILD that could cvs checkout the openbsd source and prepare
a source tarball for us - and add patches for make.

I'd rather switch to s-nail or heirloom-mailx.

I'm thinking how to do this for stable to fix the CVE issues. I looked
at backporting the patches to our version but that seems like alot of
work so I don't think that is a good option.

It seems that heirloom-mailx also introduces krb5 dependency. I think
we don't want that for stable, but it also looks like its optional.

The /etc/mail.rc has been renamed to /etc/nail.rc but I suppose we can
add a pre-upgrade script that will rename existing /etc/mail.rc
to /etc/nail.rc and add a symlink /etc/mail.rc.

There is also a heirloom-mailx fork named s-nail. I don't know if that
is a better alternative.

other thoughts?

krb5 is for IMAP authentication over GSSAPI; it is optional, and there
are 4 GSS libraries that can be used in theory.
The makefile probes for these, so it's simply a matter of whether
the library is in makedepends.
Our "mailx" (actually "mail") does not support IMAP at all, so dropping
krb5 from makedepends for stable should be fine.
I'm not aware of a particular need for IMAP authentication over GSSAPI,
but thought that it would be better to support it since we have Kerberos
in main/ (in other words, feel free to drop it completely if you see fit).

Sounds good.

If you look back over the thread, I mentioned s-nail but chose not to
package it yet because the development plans involve(d) a bunch of code
cleanup down the road, including dropping IMAP support for a release
or two and then rewriting it from scratch.

It's probably a good idea in the long term, but I doubt that starting to
support IMAP, turning it off, and turning it on again with a complete
rewrite of the backend is going to make things easy for users or for
tidy upgrades.

Once the s-nail developers have the new IMAP support finished, it would
probably be a good choice.
