I really wouldn't recommend using Sendmail, especially not for just
sending mail and not receiving mail. So my recommendation is that you
unmerge sendmail, and then merge ssmtp. This is a very simple MTA and is
great if you just want to send mail. It still offers the standard UNIX
sendmail script, except that it is a wrapper. So:
1) Umerge sendmail.
2) Emerge ssmtp
3) Edit /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf and set the mailhub variable to your ISP's
SMTP server. For example, I have the line:
mailhub=smtp-server.carolina.rr.com
for one of my machines. Hope this helps!
