I really wouldn't recommend using Sendmail, especially not for just sending mail and not receiving mail. So my recommendation is that you unmerge sendmail, and then merge ssmtp. This is a very simple MTA and is great if you just want to send mail. It still offers the standard UNIX sendmail script, except that it is a wrapper. So: 1) Umerge sendmail. 2) Emerge ssmtp 3) Edit /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf and set the mailhub variable to your ISP's SMTP server. For example, I have the line: mailhub=smtp-server.carolina.rr.com for one of my machines.
