The config file is normally not world-readable and it also has the advantage that it can talk to your SMTP server via SSL/TLS. If you also have a mail service that supports aliases, you can also have it sent to an alias address and have it filtered/delivered based on the alias (for e.g. on my systems portage sends all its emails to portage@marduk..org. A second alternative is to have ELOG send to a program and have that program in charge of delivering the message (via SMTP or whatever). You can make this program store the program and have it only readable/executable by root (or whoever portage runs as). Hope this helps, -a
