After an urgent inquiry re my health from a friend, I discovered
that e-mails had not been getting out of my machine for  7 days .
I tracked the problem down to a change in  /etc/group
when I updated Ssmtp  2.61-r2  ->  2.62-r3 :
there's a new entry 'ssmtp', which needs to be enabled for '<user>'.
There was  1 line  in the file in  /var/log/emerge-logs/ ,
which didn't explicitly warn that sysadmin action was required,
but nothing anywhere else AFAICS, incl in the 'man' file.

Has anyone else got caught by this ?
