Hm, I would've checked /var/log/syslog and /var/log/debug. |

What happens when you try to send a mail with mutt/mail/mailx? |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
mail -s "test mail" myaddress@×××××.com < /dev/null |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
There have to be some messages somewhere. |

No, it doesn't. Check out the description of mailwrapper. |

Yep. |

|
| 45 |
Yes. Some "mailhub", as the documentation likes to call it. And |
| 46 |
if you need to authenticate yourself to the SMTP server, set |
| 47 |
AuthUser and AuthPass. Also |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
# Use SSL/TLS to send secure messages to server. |
| 50 |
UseTLS=YES |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
is quite useful. |

You misunderstood. This thread was about, *WHERE* SMTP is used. |
| 58 |
IMO, it's wrong that portage even CAN use SMTP. But nearly always, |
| 59 |
you'll need to use some SMTP server to get your mail out. But |
| 60 |
with the /usr/sbin/sendmail interface, it's conceivable to send |
| 61 |
out the mail WITHOUT the use of SMTP (eg. if the mail is sent from |
| 62 |
the host with UUCP). |
