What you see is the S-nail specific errno(3) EPIPE error string;
Maybe a missing user folder in /var/spool/mail ?
I don't know how heirloom-mailx handeld this. I use s-nail for sending
cron/command-line mails,
i never used it as MUA.

Where does the string "mailx v14.9.11, 2018-08-08 (build for linux)"
come from?
Is this a prebuilt binary?
Or from slackbuilds.org, or from slackware-current?
Oh really! Please let me assume it is only because of OpenSSL,
rather than because of the software as such, right? :-)
I submitted the slackbuild, but aren't responsible for what or why
something lands in slackware,
but i proposed to replace heirloom-mailx.
OpenSSL didn't make headache i think, until now heirloom could be
patched.
For me it seemed, that heirloom-mailx development is now at s-nail, so
why not go with it.
The .SlackBuild script of Johannes Schöpfer is the most
complicated think i have ever seen! I really had to think about
it, but luckily and successfully avoided that, then.
Well, it's basically the original slackware heirloom-mailx buildscript,
adapted to s-nail.
We are at Slackware, too! Thank you, this is really nice!!
I did not even know that Slackware is still truly alive, but
i think: good that it is.
