After an urgent inquiry re my health from a friend, I discovered |
| 2 |
that e-mails had not been getting out of my machine for 7 days . |
| 3 |
I tracked the problem down to a change in /etc/group |
| 4 |
when I updated Ssmtp 2.61-r2 -> 2.62-r3 : |
| 5 |
there's a new entry 'ssmtp', which needs to be enabled for '<user>'. |
| 6 |
There was 1 line in the file in /var/log/emerge-logs/ , |
| 7 |
which didn't explicitly warn that sysadmin action was required, |
| 8 |
but nothing anywhere else AFAICS, incl in the 'man' file. |
| 9 |

Has anyone else got caught by this ? |
