1. Could you post the output of `grep -i mail /etc/make.conf` please? 2. Could you show us some relevant output indicating the status of the "ipv6" USE flag on your system, please? Please show us all packages installed with it activated. I don't have an uptodate Gentoo system handy right now, so I'm not immediately sure the best way to perform that latter. There must be something cleaner and faster than `emerge -ep world | grep -i ipv6`, probably something in Gentoolkit. You get the message when you compile packages, and the error message begins with "sendmail" - this makes me think you have portage configured (in your make.conf) to send you its output by email (the ewarn, eerror &c messages), and that it is your mailer which is giving this warning. Googling the message suggests that your mailer might be Postfix: http://www.google.com/search?q=sendmail:+warning:+inet_protocols:+disabling+IPv6 If so, the second hit looks promising: http://unix.stackexchange.com/a/70962 Stroller.
