Simplest answer: It was never done because nobody did it. Whoever maintains virtual/mailx does so believing they have a decent set of implementations available for you to use. There was never any guarantee there that all possible satisfiers for virtual/mailx would be listed. File a feature request at b.g.o. if you feel msmtp satsifies virtual/mailx. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
