Do you mean tool from GNU Mailutils?

Or external?

If it is on localhost then I can use sendmail from MTA to queue
it. But various MTA do not behave the best and are way more
complicated or even have errors. Like OpenSMTPD did not behave how it
should. Courier MTA is great package but again too large and complex
to maintain.

Right now "mail" does great job to dispatch emails and construct them
correctly. I am just trying to minimize the number of tools that I
need to download and run.
