I for one don't think that the article or the thread here is for nothing. The thread was entertaining and educational. I haven't yet set up my system to mail me anything. This is because I use PORT_LOGDIR=/var/log/portage and check the logs, and/or I use enotice. In any case, I could probably do with a mail system to warn me of all sort of things but I am not yet sure what is the best (more streamlined and efficient) way of setting it up. If you top this with my lack of understanding of the basic/advanced architecture and components of a mail system then you see why I enjoyed reading both your wiki article and this thread. The wiki article may be obsolete, but you can always update it to explain various options (that's what Gentoo is about), different configurations, pros & cons, etc. I know that it all takes time, but if you find it I and many more will surely be grateful for your contribution. :) -- Regards, Mick
