This is very closely related to bug #62670. Checking the changelog of courier at http://www.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/mail-mta/courier/ChangeLog, I'm not able to see that the newly released mail-mta/courier-0.47.20041129 "complies" to bug #62670.

Reproducible: Always

From courier-0.47.20041129:

    if use mailwrapper ; then
        mv ${D}/usr/bin/sendmail ${D}/usr/bin/sendmail.courier
        rm ${D}/usr/bin/rmail
        insinto /etc/mail
        doins ${FILESDIR}/mailer.conf
    else

Versions of courier PRIOR to that had made no accommodations for mailwrapper.
Doing this (until i get something better) should build the new courier without
the link in sbin, after which point, mailwrapper should be able to build:

USE="mailwrapper" emerge --nodeps =mail-mta/courier-0.47.20041129

[Comment 2 Scott Taylor (RETIRED) 2004-12-05 19:56:44 UTC]

ok, both current versions of courier have been updated to cooperate better with
mailwrapper, and they will try to install themselves before mailwrapper, removing
their sbin link in the process if the mailwrapper USE flag is set.

However it is OK if mailwrapper overwrites the file. So, set USE="mailwrapper", then:

FEATURES="-collision-protect" emerge courier mailwrapper
