Postfix is an advanced mail server, MTA (mail transport agent). Postfix attempts to be fast, easy to administer, and secure. The outside has a definite Sendmail-ish flavor, but the inside is completely different. Funtoo is providing postfix as default MTA. The main change in funtoo's default postfix configuration is that it is running using unix sockets instead listening on IP address.
Installation
root # emerge postfix
At this point emerge will try to replace any alternative MTA (if any) installed on your system.
