First, unmerge ssmtp, and after that, emerge postfix.
It should solve your problem.

Funny, I was just working on this with a friend at work. He had
unmerged ssmtp and it was still listing it as blocking courier. This
fixed it:

add "mailwrapper" to your USE flags, then:

emerge ssmtp
emerge postfix

courier doesn't have mailwrapper support, so I convinced him to switch
to postfix. He seems happy now.

hth,

Cooper.
