I have a small LAN with three PCs. One PC runs exim, but the other two use ssmtp. On the two that don't use exim I frequently see errors similar to the following when portage tries to send mail:
camille etc # glsa-check -m 200610-14 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/glsa-check", line 316, in ? portage_mail.send_mail(glsaconfig, mymessage) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage_mail.py", line 87, in send_mail raise portage_exception.PortageException("!!!
