Code:
!!! Error: the virtual/mta package conflicts with this package and both can't be installed on the same system together.


Code:
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild  N   ] sys-apps/ucspi-tcp-0.88-r5
[ebuild  N   ] sys-apps/daemontools-0.76-r3
[blocks B    ] net-mail/ssmtp ("virtual/mta" from pkg net-mail/qmail-1.03-r8)
[ebuild  N   ] net-mail/dot-forward-0.71-r1
[ebuild  N   ] net-mail/checkpassword-0.90-r1
[ebuild  N   ] net-mail/qmail-1.03-r8


okay, my problem is, is I want to get qmail on my system cause I've been hearing its so much better then everything else, and one feather I'm really after is the ability to Bounce junk mail back like a Postmaster stating that email doesn't exist.

now, everytime I try to emerge qmail, I get the errors above and the conflicting file. Is there a way to get around this without the two files conflicting or re-writting other files that will harm kmail or whatever email program it is conflicting with?

Remove the conflicting package first:
emerge unmerge ssmtp
