AFAIK this isn't done already in an eclass for all mail-mta/* or ?

Comment 1 Felix Janda 2016-03-31 20:25:30 UTC

The reason why many mail-mta/* packages block each other is that they
all provide the sendmail binary. So installing them at the same time
would lead to file collisions.

This does not apply to qpsmptd since it does not provide a sendmail
binary. Why should it block the installation of other mail-mta/*
packages?
