Actually that alias doesn't work :)

That doc is terribly outdated and needs to have several things changed
to reflect the current setup. Basically it was originally aimed telling
folks to only send gentoo related email through it. Now that we have an
established authenticated smtp server, I have no problem with us
recommending devs to send email through it. As for configs for
exim/postfix, I know there were some floating around, but of course we
don't have -core archives. If you ask nicely, someone might be able to
dig up those configs. If the current ports we have open don't work, let
us know and we'll find other means of helping you past that. We may need
to document that as well if its not current on the site.

Personally, after skimming through this thread, I'd say leave it as is
and stick with Kurt's decision. Our developers clearly have nothing
better to do than rant on about something as trivial as this. I
especially didn't like the "lets take this to the council first"
approach. I'm with genone on the "I guess people can complain to the
council every time emerge output changes" crap. I can't believe what I
read on here...

People, this whole thread is silly and a disgrace to our user base to
even read. I'm half tempted to submit iggy's vote-devs-off-the-island
GLEP :P (Thanks SpankY for reminding me about that).

Cheers-
