Mailutils package is missing

Hi. trying to install mailutils. This is the error

root@OpenWrt:~# opkg find mailutils
root@OpenWrt:~# opkg install mailutils
Unknown package 'mailutils'.
Collected errors:
 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package mailutils.
root@OpenWrt:~#

There doesn't appear to be any such package available at all -- https://openwrt.org/packages/table/start?dataflt[Name_pkg-dependencies*~]=mail&dataofs=200

What led you to believe that mailutils was an OpenWrt package?

Edit:

I went to try to correct any outdated information, but didn't see it on the current current OpenWrt wiki.

What are you trying to accomplish? https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/email/smtp.client may have some helpful suggestions.

thanks for your reply. the following link
led me to believe that mailutils is available as in my debian systems.
Anyway, i have ssmtp in openwrt system and i would like to send emails from the cli and the command

echo "Hello world email body" | mail -s "Test Subject" recipientname@domain.com

and in my case it states that mail is not installed.
Is there a way to accomplish the above?
