I've just fixed something on my system which may be similar. I was
seeing network error messages during emerges, which were preventing
logmail being sent. Turns out that this was because the system
couldn't figure out its DNS hostname (unsurprising, as it doesn't have
one). A quick tweak to /etc/hosts to provide a fully qualified name
was all that was needed.

An ASCII character walks into a bar and orders a double.  Having a bad
day? asks the barman.  Yeah, I have a parity error, replies the ASCII
character.  The barman says, Yeah, I thought you looked a bit off.

Look in the Postfix logfile (or syslog if Postfix isn't set to use its
own log). Is there any mention of connection attempts from Portage? If
not, the fault is with Portage. Otherwise, you should be able to see
whether the mail was accepted and where, if anywhere, it was delivered.

[gentoo-user] Emerge logs no longer being mailed

2007-04-22 Thread Kevin O'Gorman

I don't know much about postfix, or portage, so I need some help with
something that used to work and no longer does.

Namely, portage logs are no longer getting to me via email.

I don't think I changed anything about the configuration.
/etc/make.conf still has:

PORTAGE_ELOG_CLASSES=info warn error log
PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM=save mail
PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI=[EMAIL PROTECTED] localhost

And everything else is commented out (uses defaults).
I'm running postfix, which appears to be working, and forwards my local mail to
that same mail URI: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

What should I be looking for?
