Re: /usr/sbin/sendmail specification proposal, draft 4

[gk4@us.ibm.com]

For what it is worth, sendmail(8) is in section 8 of the BSD System
Manager's Manual.    Applications like mail(1) and mailx(1) provide the
user interfaces that are documented by the LSB.

   http://www.linuxbase.org/cu/

Is it within the scope of the LSB to create policies regarding the intended
interfaces of system utilities like sendmail(8), rmt(8), talkd(8),
telnetd(8), ...?

Cheers,

PS:  It appears from the TOG and LSB charts that mailx(1) is the standard
over the legacy mail(1) command.  Do we know for certain if all Linux
systems will be using just one of sendmail, ssmtp, zmailer, or exim?
