Now, it would help, if *ALL* of us (which foremost includes ME!) would
read the documentation ;) In this case, make.conf.example:

# PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI: this variable holds all important settings for the mail
#                       module. In most cases listing the recipient address and
#                       the receiving mailserver should be sufficient, but you can
#                       also use advanced settings like authentication or TLS. The
#                       full syntax is:
#                           address [[user:passwd@]mailserver[:port]]
#                       where
#                           address:    recipient address
#                           user:       username for smtp auth (defaults to none)
#                           passwd:     password for smtp auth (defaults to none)
#                           mailserver: smtp server that should be used to deliver the mail (defaults to localhost)
#                                       alternatively this can also be a the path to a sendmail binary if you don't want to use smtp
#                           port:       port to use on the given smtp server (defaults to 25, values > 100000 indicate that starttls should be used on (port-100000))

Of interest is the following:

#                           mailserver: smtp server that should be used to deliver the mail (defaults to localhost)
#                                       alternatively this can also be a the path to a sendmail binary if you don't want to use smtp

So, the correct entry for your make.conf is:

PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI="myaddress@×××××.com /usr/sbin/sendmail"

Sorry for all the confusion - I should've read the documentation first.
