Description Mats Hellman 2005-12-23 13:18:18 UTC

The Quickstart guide to Mutt email has a very small problem. One of fetchmail,procmail or mutt depends on mailbase and when you remove ssmtp it automatically adds it to the list when trying the manual command
#emerge fetchmail procmail mutt nbsmtp
To fix this one needs to unmerge ssmtp then merge nbsmtp or something else and after that issue
#emerge fetchmail procmail mutt
This will work fine.
Just thought I'd report.

The guide doesn't ask you to remove ssmtp. Furthermore, how is net-mail/mailbase related to mail-mta/ssmtp? Feel free to reopen.
