Okay, that's two votes for postfix and none for qmail... and the words "simpler to setup and manage" are music to my ear... thanks for the help.

Just "emerge unmerge net-mail/ssmtp" and you'll be fine.

Which mailserver is best is a religious war and has been hashed out on dozens of mailing lists/websites. I personally prefer postfix and it is much simpler to setup and manage, imho, than qmail.

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.
