[gentoo-user] problem with PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI

[David Relson]

I'm trying to setup mailing of emerge logs, but it's failing for
reasons I don't grasp. 

In /etc/make.conf I have the following:

PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI="userid@××××××××.com"

Running emerge, for example "emerge -1 uptimed" give the following
message:

!!! A network error occured while trying to send logmail:
[Errno 111] Connection refused
Sure you configured PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI correctly?

As a test, from a bash command line I have run:

echo "testing userid@××××××××.com" | \
mail -s"testing  userid@××××××××.com" userid@××××××××.com

The command line test works fine which indicates that the value of
PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI is correct.  However emerge is giving the message
shown above. 

Any thoughts on what I've done wrong?
