Ok, emerged, did emerge --config nullmailer, added:

# A nonstandard SMTP server setup:
# someotherserver.domain.com smtp --port=2525
mail.myserver.com smtp --port=587 --user=<user> --pass=<pass>

to /etc/nullmailer/remotes, and added it to default runlevel.

When starting manually I get the following warning:

li66-207 nullmailer # /etc/init.d/nullmailer start
  * Starting nullmailer ...      [ ok ]
  * WARNING: -c/--chuid is deprecated and will be removed in the future, 
please use -u/--user instead 

li66-207 nullmailer #

Checking the init script, I see:

start() {
         checkconfig
         ebegin "Starting nullmailer"
         cd /var/nullmailer
         start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --chuid ${USER}:${GROUP} \
                           --exec ${DAEMON} -- ${ARGS}
         eend $?
}

Should I change this? Ianap, so don't really feel comfortable just 
changing it without confirming first...

Thanks again...
