OK, I know you've posted this a couple times with no reply so far. I've=20
been hoping someone with a bit better info than I would step forward, but=
=20
no one has...
I have a local hacked together solution for some of my admin mail,=20
bypassing the Internet, simply using a script to dump it in a local=20
maildir folder I have kmail set to check (the script puts it in proper=20
maildir format). I have it working for cron, and did a bit of work to=20
get it working for something else (IDR what), but do NOT use it for=20
portage, as I have its logging setup differently (logging to a local dir=20
and with the summary at the end, which is what I mainly use).
I just thought it ridiculous that I had to run a full local mail setup=20
and/or send the mail round trip to my ISP and back (it's admin mail,=20
better it's not sent via unencrypted Internet mail at all!), just to=20
arrange for a local application to have something appear in kmail, when=20
kmail can be set to check a local maildir, so I setup a script that made=20
it happen!
Anyway, if you are up for a bit of hacking and know bash, working=20
together and starting from what I already have, we can almost certainly=20
get it working for portage as well.
Or simply do what I did and setup the logging so portage produces a=20
summary at the end, and logs messages to a local dir as well, in case=20
they are needed for reference after the end-summary is gone. I should be=
=20
able to help with that as well, if it'll do what you need.
