$ 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).
