</I>><i> during validation of validation of msec/sectool update candidates,

</I>><i> Seems mailx (on behalf of msec) can't send mails to local user

Hi,
IIRC mailx don't do local delivery alone. If we want to allow local
delivery but not require a full smtp server, we could use dma
(DragonFly Mail Agent [1]) which is a lightweight alternative.
It seems sendmail-command is a provide of most of smtp package so maybe
you can add a require on it.

Julien
