!virtual/mta should be added to RDEPEND (for package installs) and DEPEND (for
ebuild merges).  It should work (hasn't been tested yet).  I don't think it
should be automatically added by Portage, but should be specified by the ebuild
maintainer.  Jerry, could you make these two fixes to qmail, exim and postfix?

Best Regards,
