Ok, imnsho, the comments in /usr/share/portage/config/make.conf.example
are not sufficiently explicit...
# port: port to use on the given smtp server
(defaults to 25, values > 100000 indicate that starttls should be used on
(port-100000))
# Examples:
#PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI="root@localhost localhost" (this is also the default
setting)
#PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI="user@some.domain mail.some.domain" (sends mails to
user@some.domain using the mailserver mail.some.domain)
#PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI="user@some.domain user:sec...@mail.some.domain:100465"
(this is left uncommented as a reader exercise ;)
It is unclear from this text that the first three characters of the
specified port are IGNORED...
I had been trying user:sec...@mail.some.domain:587, and it kept failing
as if it wasn't using STARTTLS... then I started down a rabbit hole of
trying to configure postfix's sasl client, then decided that was way
overkill for what I was trying to accomplish...
Then in a flash of inspiration, I decided to try 100587 for the port and
it just worked.
Anyway, on to prepping for building my first initramfs this weekend...
