$ grep -i mail /etc/make.conf 
PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM="save mail"
PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI="root"
PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILFROM="portage@hex"
$

(I follow the guiding principal that root and postmaster should always be 
correctly aliased, and that mail to them should be delivered correctly to 
another named user, my own).

Stroller.
