I think all I need to do is figure out how to tell cron to send emails
the same way as portage using sender:[email protected]:587 (using
TLS), but alas, my google-fu is failing on this one... I can't find a
single mention anywhere of alternate examples of sending emails with
cron, much less using sender:passwd@host:587 syntax...
So... anyone? I can't imagine it isn't possible... ?
You're asking about cron, which is the wrong question.
No...
I know all about running a local MTA.
My real question is, why can portage do this (send emails without a
local MTA installed)?
Why did the gentoo devs decide to build an smtp client into it capable
of doing TLS, instead of simply requiring an MTA to be able to email
emerge logs?
