Works fine here.
Are you running a mailserver on localhost?
Well, David's problem is SOLVED now, so I'm not sure that it matters,
but yes.
I assumed he would also have to be running a sendmail-replacement for
the example he gave to work:
echo "testing use...@mydomain.com" | \
mail -s"testing use...@mydomain.com" use...@mydomain.com
I kinda assumed his problem was that `mail` would provide a valid
sender address, whereas the upstream ISP might reject mails from
portage with a dodgy from address.
