Would

PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI="[EMAIL PROTECTED] user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:pass_with_:[EMAIL PROTECTED]@mailserver:port"

work? For clarification:

        user= user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
        pass=pass_with_:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
        mailserver=mailserver
        port=port

Well, ymmv, but assuming the mailer parses the uri the same way HTTP does, You would have to percent encode the character with special meanings: So, it would be more like this:

        user=user%3Aname%40bsp.invalid
        pass=pass_with_%3A_colon%40domain
        mailserver=mailserver
        port=port

Yeilding:

        PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI=\
            " [EMAIL PROTECTED] user%3Aname%40bsp.invalid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:port"

(Line break added to discourage wrapping)
