GNU Mailutils
Mailutils is a swiss army knife of electronic mail handling. It offers a rich set of utilities and daemons for processing e-mail.
All Mailutils programs are able to operate on mailboxes of any existing format, ranging from standard UNIX maildrops, through maildir and up to remote mailboxes, which are transparently accessed using IMAP4, POP3 and SMTP.
Regular users will find here an implementation of the traditional UNIX mail reader mail, command line utilities, such as frm, messages, readmsg, and sieve -- a flexible utility for filtering the incoming mail.
A special feature of Mailutils is an implementation of the MH Message Handling System, which combines a power of the UNIX philosophy with a flexibility of Mailutils libraries, thus allowing to easily incorporate mail from remote mailboxes.
For system administrators, Mailutils provides a set of daemons for delivering and reading electronic mail, including pop3d, imap4d and a universal mail delivery agent, called maidag.

- Update to mailutils 3.8
* The maidag utility is withdrawn (CVE-2019-18862, bsc#1156495)
The main purpose of this utility was to work as local mail delivery
agent (MDA), a program responsible for final delivery of email messages
to the recipient's mailbox. As such it required suid privileges.
In parallel with its main purpose, it also was able to work in two
other modes: the 'url' mode, designed to deliver mails to arbitrary
mailbox URLs, and 'lmtp' mode, in which it acted as local mail
transport daemon. Neither of these needed suid privileges.
The unfortunate design decision to combine the three modes in a single
versatile tool resulted in local privilege escalation threat in 'url'
mode.
To fix this, maidag has been replaced by three different utilities,
each one with a precisely defined purpose and carefully designed
privileges: mda, lmtpd, and putmail.
* mda
* lmtpd
* putmail
* Use of TLS in pop3d run from inetd
* comsatd --test
* mail
** fix the semantics of 'hold' and 'keepsave' variables
** New message type specification ":s"
