Description:   Opened: 2002-09-04 03:17 0000 
The current ssmtp ebuild (ssmtp-2.38.14-r1) creates a symlink to the sendmail
program from /usr/bin/mail.  This should be removed as the sendmail command does
not support the same syntax as the mail command. 

This also overrides the /bin/mail command (due to PATH order) provided by the
mailx ebuild (which does support the mail command syntax correctly)

This "issue" can be simply resolved by removing the following line from the ebuild.

 dosym /usr/sbin/ssmtp /usr/bin/mail

I will attach a new ebuild with this change performed.

Attachment should have been called: ssmtp-2.38.14-r2.ebuild - Sorry.

The ebuild has been updated.  It should be available in portage within 24
hours.
I did not make a new revision as it is not a significant enough change in the
ebuild.  Thanks for reporting the bug!
