I seem to have no local mail delivery:

> echo test | mail -s test root
-/bin/bash: mail: command not found

So I started poking around and see that I already have ssmtp installed.  It 
seems unconfigured so I make some obvious changes to /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf.  At 
this point I don't know how to start it up, there is no ssmtpd or anything 
obvious in /etc/init.d.

I then decided to install sendmail.  I was forced to unmerge ssmtp first do to 
a blockage, but then emerging sendmail put ssmtp right back in as a 
dependancy?  Weird..  Anyway, I added sendmail to my startup using rc-update 
and then I started it up by hand.  I again try to send a test message but can't.

What do I need to do to get local mail delivery?

Thanks,
