Me too - but what's "un-Gentoo" about using PORTAGE_ELOG_COMMAND? |

I don't know, but it would be a very useful addition - and IMO, |
| 14 |
they could dump that useless feature, that portage can do SMTP |
| 15 |
by itself. That's so un-Unix, so Windows-like :( |

Yes, it would, but I'd actually not suggest to do so. Installing |
| 20 |
postfix (or any SMTP server, for that matter) just for Portage |
| 21 |
isn't the right way to go. It's too much code, opening too many |
| 22 |
potential problems, which can be sidestepped by making |
| 23 |
portage use /usr/sbin/sendmail instead. |

IMAP has nothing to do with that. IMAP is for a client to fetch |
| 29 |
mails (kind of). It's not for sending mails. |
