Just went to emerge qmail and I got my first blocked package (lucky me, I know). It's blocked by net-mail/ssmtp, which (not surprisingly) belongs to sendmail. So, should I unmerge sendmail? (It seemed like folks on this list liked qmail better than sendmail... anyone disagree?) Will this cause problems with anything? (etcat -d ssmtp doesn't return anything... etcat -d sendmail says drac depends on it...) Note that this is for the remote web server that I'm working and not my home system.
The gentoo docs just say something like "if ya get a blocked package, you can get rid of it with emerge -C... oh, by the way, this might hose your system." Okay, I'm exagerating a little, but there doesn't seem to be much guidance on this. Hope you folks can help.

I personally like postfix better than both of them, but thats just my opinion. Whichever MTA you go with, just unmerge ssmtp first with "emerge unmerge ssmtp".
