You are correct, I'm using postfix and after emerge system is emailing me the notification.
grep -i mail /etc/make.conf

PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM="mail"
PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI="root /usr/sbin/sendmail"
PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILSUBJECT="package \${PACKAGE} merged on \${HOST} with notice"

I've tried to edit /etc/postfix/main.cf
but it does not contain any statement such as "inet_protocols"

It could be something to do with a new portage :-/
