Not here (Ubuntu):
$ mail The program 'mail' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install mailutils
Installing mailutils would also bring in postfix amongst others (guile-2.0-libs libgsasl7 libkyotocabinet16 liblzo2-2 libmailutils4 libntlm0 libunistring0 mailutils-common ssl-cert).
Of-course mail can be provided by other packages that don't rely on postfix, which is where I got stuck: which to pick?
