What about
PORTAGE_ELOG_COMMAND="cat '\${LOGFILE}' | mail -s 'ebuild log for
\${PACKAGE}' user@address"
Doesn't seem to work here, though. Even if I set PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM to
"custom" and PORTAGE_ELOG_COMMAND to an existing script, it is not being
called.

You don't, you tell it to use sendmail From make.conf.example: mailserver: smtp server that should be used to deliver the mail (defaults to localhost) alternatively this can also be a the path to a sendmail binary if you don't want to use smtp Try PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI="you@home /usr/sbin/sendmail" This will use ssmtp's sendmail, which you already have working. -- Neil Bothwick This is the day for firm decisions!

Ok, so, I now have more info so hopefully some kind soul will take pity on me and provide the clue-stick... I can confirm that sending email from the commandline now works: li66-207 ~ # echo "This is a test e-mail..." | mail -s "Test e-mail" ad...@myserver.com li66-207 ~ # I received the email. But, I'm still getting the same error as above when portage tries to email me the emerge logs. How do I tell portage to simply use the 'mail' command?

Sounds good, I'll give it a shot (emerging now)...
Ok, emerged, did emerge --config nullmailer, added:
# A nonstandard SMTP server setup:
# someotherserver.domain.com smtp --port=2525
mail.myserver.com smtp --port=587 --user= --pass=
to /etc/nullmailer/remotes, and added it to default runlevel.
When starting manually I get the following warning:
li66-207 nullmailer # /etc/init.d/nullmailer start

* WARNING: -c/--chuid is deprecated and will be removed in the future,
please use -u/--user instead

cd /var/nullmailer

i would first of all suggest dropping ssmtp and going with nullmailer. if ssmtp fails for any reason it will lose your emails. nullmailer has queue capability.
