6 I just tried it, and ssmtp is not marked for an update when using
7 "emerge -puD world". Nice. I can even use these settings
8
9 # /etc/portage/profile/package.provided
10 mail-mta/postfix-2.2.5
11
12 # /etc/portage/profile/virtuals
13 virtual/mta mail-mta/postfix
14
15 and emerge does not try to install ssmtp. As I don't provide ssmtp
16 but my own Postfix 2.2.5 installation, as you correctly observed,
17 these are the settings I'll use. Thank you, Georgi.
