Bug Description

Per https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nail/+bug/192129, nail is not available in Hardy.

It's available in Intrepid as a dummy package (nail has been renamed to heirloom-mailx - also not in Hardy):

http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/nail

Can this please be backported from Intrepid to Hardy as it's a useful way to send mail without requiring an MTA on the system.

FWIW, I decided not to wait and rewrote our various scripts to use msmtp. YMMV, etc.

I'd like to have nail in hardy too.

Any large show stoppers in this?

It looks like this bug requests a backport from Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid
Ibex). However, as Intrepid is no longer supported, such a backport is
no longer possible.

This bug is being set to "Won't Fix". If you would still like to move
forward with this backport request, please re-open the bug and adjust
it to request a backport from a current release.
