I think this is a symptom of having postfix setup with the rc-update tool. If you do a "rc-update -s" you'll get a list of the services on your box and what state (if any) they should be started in (boot and default are the most common entries). If you see postfix in this list, with a state, give the command "rc-update del postfix default" (where default is the state it's starting in). This should clear up your problem. If not, check on the Gentoo forums - I'm sure someone has run into this.
I see a similar issue after every emerge now for vixie-cron. I'm told that cron is already supplying the service. The funny thing is that my "cron" is in fact "vixie-cron" in the first place. One of these days when I'm looking for something to do, I'll dig into this deeper and fix it.

I didnt read the instructions after the ebuild and hence never ran the ebuild config. DOH! Except now I keep seeing * Caching service dependencies... * Service 'postfix' already provide 'mta'!; * Not adding service 'sendmail'... even though I unmerged postfix. Any ideas?
