blockers

[Brett I. Holcomb]

A block simply means some other package provides the service this one does 
and you can not have more than one of them providing the service - like 
mail.  You can have sendmail or another mailer but not both.  I haven't 
delved into the mail stuff on any distro but it may be that Gentoo 
defaulted to using sendmail to provide mail or you installed it.  If it's 
installed you could uninstall it and put your desired mail program in.  I'd 
check the archives on the Gentoo mail list as I believe this has come up 
before.
