Why? I currently have none. I send out email with ssh to another machine:
"ssh user@machine.edu /usr/lib/sendmail"

Since basic GPG shouldn't require anything related to email, I'll venture
a guess that the ebuild is enabling some extra features which do. Is there
a workaround? Perhaps I can make a dummy /usr/lib/sendmail? I guess
I could always unmerge GPG and manually compile it. I specifically don't
want ssmtp or any sendmail because I used to get console errors of some
process trying to use it which I didn't like and couldn't figure out so
I unmerged it and the problem went away.

Thanks.
