Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
mailx -s "subject" recipient is not hanging.
It is expecting file name. If filename is not given, it is expecting the input from STDIN.
Enter some data followed by CTRL+D and see whether it is quick or not.

rcvpack
RCVPACK(1) [nmh-1.5] RCVPACK(1)
NAME
rcvpack - append message to file
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/mh/rcvpack file [-mbox] [-mmdf] [-version] [-help]
DESCRIPTION
The rcvpack program will append a copy of the message to the file listed on its command line.
If the -mbox switch is given (the default), then the messages are separated using mbox (uucp) style delimiters. This is the format used by
most mail clients (elm, mailx, etc.).
If the -mmdf switch is given, then the messages are separated by mmdf style delimiters. Each message in the file is separated by four
CTRL-A's and a newline.
rcvpack will correctly lock and unlock the file to serialize access to the file, when running multiple copies of rcvpack .
In general, its use is obsoleted by the file action of slocal, although it might still have occasional uses in various shell scripts.
FILES
/etc/nmh/mts.conf nmh mts configuration file
SEE ALSO
rcvdist(1), rcvstore(1), rcvtty(1), slocal(1)
BUGS
Only two return codes are meaningful, others should be.
