Just upgraded from exim-4.54 to exim-4.60-r1 here, and noticed that the /etc/mail/mailwrapper file removed the entries for send-mail and mail. The first one seems to be necessary by /bin/mail, which caused many of my scripts to fail with an error like this: mailwrapper: no mapping in /etc/mail/mailer.conf Can't send mail: sendmail process failed with error code 1 I have no clue whether this was/is intentional or not, but mail-client/mailx-8.1.2.20040524-r1 seems to be incompatible with it.
could you please post the output of emerge info. do you have 'mailwrapper' in your USE variable?

Please fix this already. Just add send-mail to the installed mailer.conf and be done with it. It's not a high risk proposition.
Seeing as you ask so nicely.... (with thanks to g2boojum for the help), it's now in cvs.
Sorry. This one caused a surprising amount of trouble for me in production, and I got upset. I lost sight of the fact that ebuild maintainers are volunteers.
can the bug be closed/fixed then?
if the new mailer.conf works for you, then yes :)
