Package: smartmontools
Version: 6.2+svn3841-1.2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
smartmontools installs mailx by default as it is in recommends. It seems
not a proper behaviour.
So if I install smartmontools it also installs not only mailx but also
mail-transport-agent which is not required in most cases.
Best regards,
Stanislav

Dear Stanislav,
You can install any package that provides mailx, if you want.
Also, you can configure apt not to pull in Recommends.
Otherwise, "Recommends" as per Policy defines
"The Recommends field should list packages that would be found together
with this one in all but unusual installations."
and this is here the case.
Closing.
