When I install sendmail with "emerge sendmail", I get the following messages: --=======================================-- xw-gentoo xiew # emerge -p sendmail These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild N ] mail-mta/sendmail-8.14.0 USE="ssl tcpd -ipv6 -ldap -mailwrapper -mbox -nis -sasl -sockets" [ebuild N ] mail-filter/procmail-3.22-r7 USE="-mbox (-selinux)" [blocks B ] mail-mta/sendmail (is blocking mail-mta/ssmtp-2.61-r2) [blocks B ] mail-mta/ssmtp (is blocking mail-mta/sendmail-8.14.0) --=======================================-- It seems that sendmail and ssmtp are blocking each other, is it a little bug? Thank you very much.

Either unmerge mail-mta/ssmtp first or enable USE=mailwrapper. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 167952 ***
Yes, unmerge ssmtp first,and the problem is handled. Thank you all. Glad to be with you gentoo team.
I got this as a solution... emerge procmail emerge -C ssmtp emerge sendmail
