You misunderstood. This thread was about, *WHERE* SMTP is used.
IMO, it's wrong that portage even CAN use SMTP. But nearly always,
you'll need to use some SMTP server to get your mail out. But
with the /usr/sbin/sendmail interface, it's conceivable to send
out the mail WITHOUT the use of SMTP (eg. if the mail is sent from
the host with UUCP).
Can I set my portage elog mail to be sent with UUCP? Is it not
recommended for any reason? I have postfix set up on my remote
server, but I like keeping personal and business stuff separate.
