I am still a little new to gentoo, but I was under the impression it was the opposite. I had the same problem with fcron and postfix. I removed the ssmtp package and emerged postfix. Everything seems to be working.
Ssmtp is blocking qmail from installing. Wouldn't Pawel want to # emerge unmerge ssmtp then # emerge qmail Don't hold me to this! I am really curious after reading this post what is the correct/best way to handle this. Tony -----Original Message----- From: Thomas T.
