procmail from trunk doesn't compile. Gentoo has fixed it here:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=192043&action=edit

Also, if /usr/sbin/sendmail doesn't exist during compilation, procmail falls back to /usr/bin/mail which is much more limited. Thus I believe procmail should have a makedep of smtp-server or at least smtp-forwarder.

I have patched with this patch locally and had postfix installed when building procmail and it works as previous versions did.

This task depends upon

Msmtp which provides an smtp-forwarder doesnt provide a /usr/sbin/sendmail though, so maybe thats not enough. Latest discussion:  FS#21521 
Former requests:  FS#8913   FS#14966

ssmtp is smtp-forwarder and does provide /usr/sbin/sendmail...
msmtp should really include /usr/sbin/sendmail
