Description Stefan Förster 2003-04-11 05:01:58 UTC 
Postfix, which is - unlike other MTAs like Exim - fully capable of dealing with UUCP-style paths does not have a rmail program installed. There _is_ an rmail program if you unpack the source tarball manually and cd to the "auxilliary" directory, but "emerge postfix" does not install that package.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

1. emerge postfix
2. which rmail
3. qpkg -l postfix | grep rmail

Actual Results:  
I am not able to use UUCP.

Expected Results:  
After manually installing the rmail program, UUCP works like expected.

Portage 2.0.47-r10 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.2, glibc-2.3.1-r4)
