According to:

```auto
dnf provides *bin/mailx

```

that binary belongs to a package called `s-nail``. So:

```auto
dnf install s-nail

```

I’ve edited your original post to format properly, since it makes it easier for people to see when you have used commands to do something, than have your question mixed up with the output. Please use the formatting tools when posting thx.
