All current versions of mail-mta/nullmailer contain these lines in RDEPEND: !mail-mta/msmtp !mail-mta/ssmtp These two packages have an mta use flag (at least in recent versions). When unset in makes them not emulate Sendmail, allowing another package to do that. To contrast, this is what the latest stable version of mail-mta/sendmail has: !mail-mta/msmtp[mta] !<mail-mta/ssmtp-2.64-r2 !>=mail-mta/ssmtp-2.64-r2[mta] Please consider if something like this is also possible for mail-mta/nullmailer. This makes the following use case possible: delivering mail from Cron etc. to the system mbox's with a no-nonsense MTA like nullmailer while users can send their personal mail through the SMTP server of their mail provider with msmtp or ssmtp.
