The untested (and in my experience broken) Exim 4.04 seems to have been accidentally unmasked. The entry =net-mail/exim-4.04 has been added, but as exim-4.04r1 is now there, portage tries to install this version.
Perhaps you'd like to tell us why it's broken! I'm using those exim-4 on 2 machines and it works great! Have you tested it?
Any other developers using exim?? Can anyone else comment on this ebuild?
I have tried to emerge exim with exim 4. It says "need logger". I do have a logger installed but it doesn't recognize it. I tried to emerge the old exim (3.36) but it still complains about logger in the init script.
Lamer: is 4.04-r1 supposed to be masked? 4.04 is
"logger" is provided by the correctly packaged log daemons. The problem you're seeing is related to your chosen syslog package. try updating your log daemon package. Yes it's supposed to be unmasked. This bug is irrelevant. The person who claims exim-4 is broken is wrong.
