Hello, Don't know where Gentoo expects it; Debian would be looking for /etc/dbmail/dbmail.conf, and the default location is /etc/dbmail.conf. If you chmod 600, make sure the file is owned by whatever user dbmail is running as (and you'd do well to make sure that's not root). If you still can't figure it out, you could try running under strace to see where it's looking for the config file. Eg. "strace dbmail-util -a 2>&1 | grep dbmail.conf"
