21 Well, David's problem is SOLVED now, so I'm not sure that it matters,
22 but yes.
23
24 I assumed he would also have to be running a sendmail-replacement for
25 the example he gave to work:
26
27 > echo "testing userid@××××××××.com" | \
28 > mail -s"testing userid@××××××××.com" userid@××××××××.com

30 I kinda assumed his problem was that `mail` would provide a valid
31 sender address, whereas the upstream ISP might reject mails from
32 portage with a dodgy from address.
