I've got it without that, Portage 2.1.8.3.

Works fine here.
I assumed he would also have to be running a sendmail-replacement
for the example he gave to work:
echo "testing use...@mydomain.com" | \
mail -s"testing use...@mydomain.com" use...@mydomain.com
I kinda assumed his problem was that `mail` would provide a valid
sender address, whereas the upstream ISP might reject mails from
portage with a dodgy from address.

OP here ...
Having my own domain, I run my own mailserver -- but it's not on my
gentoo development machine. I read the emerge python code,
specifically mail.py, to find how PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI is handled.
Reading the code lead me to (finally) realize that I need to have a
PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI value with two (2) fields separated by a space
character.
What version of portage, please? I certainly don't have that here, and
it seems to be working.
Stroller.
