Description Adam Niewoehner 2010-12-27 16:22:08 UTC
The msmtp tarball includes a script that can be used to handle rewriting aliases for local mail.  It could be installed when installing msmtp by including two lines in the ebuild; one line changes the default location of the aliases file from "/etc/aliases" to "/etc/mail/aliases" to match the default Gentoo location and the second line adds the script to the files already installed in /usr/share/msmtp.

Reproducible: Always
