Please note the following (from mailx removal commit in oe-core):

     This recipe was carried only for LSB compatibility,
     with upstream being defunct for a long time; if there is a need
     for a modern, supported implementation of mail/mailx, then
     s-nail (http://sdaoden.eu/code.html) or mailutils 
(http://mailutils.org/)    should be used.

So when openssl 1.0 goes away, it's better to package either of these two.
