mailx-12.5-10.fc20.x86_64 reproduces as well +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1113611 +++ mailx-12.5-11.el7.x86_64 reproduces as well +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1113592 +++ Description of problem: mailx segfaults if set from= or e.g. set from= some.put.after.a.space.com line is present in /etc/mail.rc Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mailx-12.4-7.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. put lines set smtp=smtp.redhat.com set from= to /etc/mail.rc 2. run # mailx -s Test fkrska 3. Actual results: b . EOT Segmentation fault Expected results: b . EOT mail sent Additional info: Patch proposed (mailx silently sends email with From: MAILER-DAEMON). Perhaps even more desired behavior would be to detect empty "from" (which has no use case and often caused by user mistakenly put space after "=") and print warning on stderr.

Thank you Dmitry. I found this link but without mailing list. From http://heirloom.sourceforge.net/mailx.html: Mailx development is discussed on the nail-devel mailing list. All people interested in discussing or coding features for future releases are invited to participate. Bug reports should also be sent to the list. To subscribe to the list or look at the archives, visit <https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nail-devel>. Currently, only subscribers are allowed to post.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
