Thanks Forest for the report and Christian for chiming in. I think the
current behavior is the intended one: mail it sent using a mailx
compatible MUA, which is often used for automated message sending. mailx
implementations (bsd-mailx, mailutils, ...) differ and may require to be
configured to work properly. For example mailx from mailutils can send
mail using a remote SMTP server, authenticating if needed; this means
that different setups are supported, but some configuration is
necessary.
If you just want to pass mail to the local MTA I'd suggest to install
bsd-mailx instead of mailutils.
As this looks like a local configuration problem, rather than a bug in
Ubuntu, I'm marking this report as Incomplete. If you think this issue
deserves more discussion, then we'd be grateful if you would explain why
you believe this is a bug in Ubuntu rather than a configuration issue,
and then change the bug status back to New. Thank you!
** Changed in: smartmontools (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Incomplete
