I have a Linux server that is up and running for nearly 90+ days.
[root@RHEL7 log]# uptime
06:23:31 up 95 days, 11:56, 10 users, load average: 0.30, 0.52, 0.56
[root@RHEL7 log]# uname -a
Linux RHEL7 2.6.18-433.el5 #1 SMP Thu Jun 28 14:26:33 EDT 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[root@RHEL7 log]# yum list installed | grep mailx
mailx.x86_64 8.1.1-44.2.2 installed
[root@RHEL7 log]# rpm -qa | grep mailx
mailx-8.1.1-44.2.2
Above are the details. Mailx was working until last week. All of a sudden it stopped working and showing command not found. But the packages are all showing installed as above.
[root@ENT-DV-UHBLD01 log]# which mailx
/usr/bin/which: no mailx in (/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/opt/puppetlabs/bin)
[root@ENT-DV-UHBLD01 log]# whereis mailx
mailx: /usr/share/man/man1p/mailx.1p.gz
[root@ENT-DV-UHBLD01 log]# mailx
bash: mailx: command not found
rhel package-management command mailx

Looks like/bin/mailxis a symlink to/bin/mail./bin/mailcomes from themailxpackage, but/bin/mailxis part of the redhat-lsb package. So please runrpm -q -V redhat-lsband see if it shows any errors.
