>From http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=116637#c2 """ this bug hit me too, however i was not able to fix it with your patch. i think this is because of line 48 in mod_mail.py: myconn.sendmail("portage", myrecipient, mymessage.as_string()) as you see, portage is still hardcoded there. I replaced it with "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and got my mails :) """ The system sends the mail to "portage", but it requires a FQDN. It seems this is not automatically expanded to "portage@<localdomain>" So I doubt hostname -d has any effect on it, but I haven't actually checked the code). You could do the same as Simon and replace "portage" with a valid email address untill this is fixed. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
