This upgrades >= means greater than or equal to, so it will install the latest available version. You want one of emerge -av =mail-mta/sendmail-8.13.7 to emerge a specific version, or emerge -av "<mail-mta/sendmail-8.14.0" to get the latest available 8.13 version. You can also make this change permanent by adding >=mail-mta/sendmail-8.14.0 to /etc/portage.package.mask -- Neil Bothwick Suborbital Ballistic-Propulsion Engineer Not Exactly A Rocket Scientist
